Pile baronets

There have been two Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Pile, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The Pile Baronetcy, of Compton in the County of Berkshire, was created in the Baronetage of England on 12 September 1628 for Francis Pile. The second Baronet represented Berkshire in the House of Commons. The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1761.

The Pile Baronetcy, of Kenilworth House in Rathgar in the County of Dublin, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 24 September 1900 for Thomas Devereux Pile, Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1900.
