The Oglander Baronetcy, of Nunwell in the County of Southampton, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 12 December 1665 for William Oglander, Member of Parliament for Yarmouth and Newport. The sixth Baronet was member of parliament for Bodmin. The title became extinct on the death of the seventh Baronet, Sir Henry Oglander, in 1874. He left the Nunwell estate to his cousin John Henry Glynn, who, in compliance with Sir Henry's will, took the name of Oglander by royal licence in 1895, and was the possessor of Nunwell as of 1912.[1]

The family seat was Nunwell House, Nunwell, Isle of Wight.
