The Wynne baronetcy, of Leeswood Hall, Leeswood in the County of Flint, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 9 August 1731 for George Wynne, subsequently Member of Parliament for Flint Boroughs from 1734 to 1742. He owned an estate at Halkyn with lead deposits, and was a supporter of Robert Walpole. The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet some time between 1764 and 1792.
