The Medlycott Baronetcy, of Ven House in the County of Somerset, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 3 October 1808 for William Medlycott, Member of Parliament for Milborne Port from 1790 to 1791. The family descended from James Medlycott, of Ven House, who represented Milborne Port in the House of Commons between 1710 and 1722. His son Thomas Medlycott (Member of Parliament for Milborne Port from 1747 to 1763) died without surviving male issue in 1763 and left his estates to his maternal nephew Thomas Hutchings, who adopted the surname of Medlycott. His son was the first Baronet. The baronetcy became extinct with the death of the 9th Baronet in 2021.
