Palmer baronets, of Wingham (1621)

• Sir Thomas Palmer, 1st Baronet (1540–1625)^[1]
• Sir Thomas Palmer, 2nd Baronet (died 1656)
• Sir Henry Palmer, 3rd Baronet (died 1706)
• Sir Thomas Palmer, 4th Baronet (1682–1723)^[2]
• Sir Charles Palmer, 5th Baronet (died 1773)
• Sir Charles Harcourt Palmer, 6th Baronet (1760–1838)

The sixth baronet died unmarried; the baronetcy therefore became apparently extinct in 1838, for want of a legitimate heir, though he had sons.
