The Morris baronetcy, of Clasemont in the County of Glamorgan, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 12 May 1806 for the copper and coal magnate, John Morris. The 1st baronet had founded Morriston, the industrial suburb of Swansea, which was overlooked by the family seat at Clasemont. This residence was later knocked down and the stones were incorporated into a new family house at Sketty Park. Various lines died out, and the baronetcy eventually came to the 8th baronet, George Lockwood Morris, who succeeded at the age of 88, three months before his death. The 8th baronet had been a local industrialist and a Welsh international rugby player. The ninth baronet, the 8th baronet's son, was the painter and horticulturalist Cedric Morris.
the baronetcy is considered dormant.
