Sir Baynham Throckmorton, 3rd Baronet (11 December 1629 – 31 July 1681) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1656 and 1679.

In 1656, Throckmorton was elected Member of Parliament for Gloucestershire in the Second Protectorate Parliament.[3]

Throckmorton was knighted on 28 May 1660.
