The Hudson-Kinahan baronetcy, of Glenville in the Parish of Ardnageehy, Barony of Barrymore, in the County of Cork; of Wyckham in the Parish of Taney, Barony of Rathdown, Townland of Dundrum, in the County of Dublin; and of Merrion Square North in the City of Dublin, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

Born Edward Kinahan, he assumed the additional surname of Hudson the same year he was created a baronet.

The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1949.
