The Kynaston Baronetcy, of Hardwick and of Worthen in the County of Shropshire, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 3 October 1818 for John Kynaston Powell, of Hardwick, Shropshire, with remainder in failure of male issue of his own to his brother Edward Kynaston and the male issue of his body. He was born John Kynaston at Hordley, Shropshire, a descendant of the 12th century Barons of Powys, whose family settled in Shropshire in the 14th century. He was Member of Parliament for Shropshire 1784–1822. He changed his name in 1797 on inheriting an estate at Worthen from a maternal relative. He was succeeded according to the special remainder by his brother, the second Baronet.
