The Honyman Baronetcy, of Armadale in the County of Orkney, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 19 May 1804 for William Honyman, a Lord of Session under the judicial title Lord Armadale. The second Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Orkney. The fourth Baronet was a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. The title became extinct on the death of the fifth Baronet in 1911.
