The Innes Baronetcy, of Balvenie in the County of Banff, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 15 January 1628 for Robert Innes, with remainder to heirs male whatsoever. The line of the first Baronet failed on the death of the eighth Baronet in 1817. The late Baronet was succeeded by his distant relative, the ninth Baronet, heir male of John Innes, great-great-uncle of the first Baronet. The twelfth Baronet served as Vice-Lord-Lieutenant of Banffshire. Victoria Cross recipient Lieutenant-General James John McLeod Innes was also a member of this family.

The seventh Baronet was the great-grandson of John Innes, the younger brother of the first Baronet. This line of the family failed on the death of the eighth Baronet in 1886.
