The Stucley Baronetcy, of Affeton Castle in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 26 April 1859 for George Stucley, Conservative Member of Parliament for Barnstaple from 1855 to 1857. Born George Stucley Buck, he had assumed by Royal licence the surname of Stucley in lieu of his patronymic, on the death of his father, in 1858 as lineal representative of the ancient Stucley family. This family, which possessed Affeton Castle in Devon for over 600 years, originally came from the village of Stukeley in Huntingdonshire, and were sheriffs of that county during the reign of King John. The family are descended from Richard Stucley, of Trent, Somerset, and Elizabeth Fitzroger his wife. Their son, Hugh Stucley married Katherine Affeton, heiress of the Affeton estates, and was sheriff of Devon in 1448. The fifth Baronet served as a Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Devon.

Born John Dalrymple, he was the husband of Susan, daughter of Sir Thomas Hay, 3rd Baronet, of Park.

His grandson, the third Baronet, was an Admiral in the Royal Navy and Conservative politician. His third and youngest son, the fifth Baronet, was a Clerk in the Foreign Office from 1887 to 1895 and in the Privy Council Office from 1895 to 1928. On his death the line of the third Baronet failed and the title passed to the late Baronet's first cousin twice removed, the sixth Baronet. He was the eldest son of Brian George Rowland Dalrymple-Hay (1898–1943), a Colonel in the Indian Cavalry, son of George Houston Dalrymple-Hay (1865–1948), fifth son of George James Dalrymple-Hay (1828–1891), a Colonel in the Bengal Staff Corps, second son of the second Baronet. As of 2009 the title is held by the seventh Baronet's son, the eighth Baronet, who succeeded in January 2009.
