The Ford, later St Clair-Ford Baronetcy, of Ember Court in the County of Surrey, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 22 February 1793 for Francis Ford, a member of the Council of Barbados and Member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme. Captain St Clair Ford, youngest son of the second Baronet and grandfather of the sixth Baronet, assumed the additional surname of St Clair in 1878.
