Baron Baden-Powell, of Gilwell in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

It was created in 1929 for the military commander Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baronet, hero of the Siege of Mafeking and founder of the international Scouting movement. He had already been created a baronet, of Bentley, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 4 December 1922.

As of 2011, the titles are held by his grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1962.

The first Baron's father and siblings were also notable. Baden Powell, father of the first Baron, was a noted mathematician. Warington Baden-Powell, Sir George Baden-Powell, Agnes Baden-Powell and Baden Baden-Powell, siblings of the first Baron, all gained prominence in their own right.

The heir presumptive is the present holder's brother, the Hon. David Michael Baden-Powell (born 1940). The heir presumptive's heir apparent is his son, David Robert Baden-Powell (b. ca. 1970).
