The Grogan Baronetcy, of Moyvore in the County of Westmeath, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[3] It was created on 23 April 1859 for the Irish politician Edward Grogan. His son, the second Baronet, was an officer in the British Army. The latter was childless and the title became extinct on his death in 1927.
The Grogan Baronets were a junior branch of the Grogan family of Johnstown Castle, County Wexford, who played a prominent role in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
