The Bull Baronetcy, of Hammersmith in the County of London, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[2] It was created on 25 November 1922 for the Conservative politician Sir William Bull. He represented Hammersmith and Hammersmith South in the House of Commons for many years. His eldest son, the second Baronet, died on active service in the Second World War and was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baronet. As of 2019 the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fifth Baronet, who succeeded in 2019.

Anthony Bull and Peter Bull were sons of the first baronet.
