The Kaye baronetcy, of Woodesham in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 4 February 1642 for John Kaye of Woodsome Hall, Almondbury, Yorkshire.[1] He was a colonel of the Horse in the service of King Charles I during the Civil War. His title was forfeit under the Parliamentarian rule, but was restored after the return of the monarchy in 1660.

The 2nd and 3rd Baronets represented Yorkshire in the House of Commons. The 4th Baronet represented York and served as Mayor of York. He was also known as a Jacobite supporter.[2] The 5th baronet was sheriff of Yorkshire in 1761. The title became extinct on the death in 1809 of the sixth Baronet, who was Dean of Lincoln.[3]
