Baron Baltimore, of Baltimore in County Longford, is an extinct title in the Peerage of Ireland. The Barony was created in 1625 and became extinct on the death of the 6th Baron in 1771. The title was held by several members of the Calvert family who were the proprietors of the Province of Avalon in Newfoundland and the Province of Maryland, later the U.S. state of Maryland.

In the context of United States history, the name Lord Baltimore usually refers to Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore after whom the city of Baltimore, Maryland is named. His younger brother Leonard Calvert was the first Governor of Maryland.

In the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a Lord Baltimore is a legendary Indian tracker who helps Joe LaForce chase Butch and Sundance. The tracker is so good that the duo - in one of film's classic scenes - are cornered into their risky cliff jump into rapids below.
