The Micklethwait baronetcy, of Iridge Place in the County of Sussex, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 27 July 1838 for Peckham Micklethwait. [1] The baronetcy was in honour of his having rescued Princess Victoria when her carriage bolted during a visit to Hastings in 1834. [2]

Micklethwait served as High Sheriff of Sussex in 1848. The title became extinct on his death in 1853.
