Baron Lawrence, of the Punjab and of Grateley in the County of Southampton,^[2] was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1869 for Sir John Lawrence, 1st Baronet, the former Viceroy of India.

Lawrence had already been created a Baronet, in 1858.^[3] His son, the second Baron, served in the Conservative administrations of Lord Salisbury and Arthur Balfour as a government whip from 1895 to 1905. The title became extinct on the death of the fifth Baron on 14 August 2023.

Two other members of the Lawrence family may also be mentioned. Sir Henry Lawrence, a military officer and administrator in British India, was the elder brother of the first Baron Lawrence. Charles Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence of Kingsgate, was a younger son of the first Baron.^[1]
