The Orr Ewing Baronetcy, of Ballikinrain in the County of Stirling and of Lennoxbank in the County of Dunbarton, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 8 March 1886 for the Conservative politician Archibald Orr-Ewing. He was the seventh son of William Ewing, a merchant of Glasgow, and Susan, daughter of John Orr, Provost of Paisley.

Sir Archibald was Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) of Dunbartonshire and for Stirlingshire. He was Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for Inverness-shire and for Stirlingshire. He was the Ensign-General of the Royal Company of Archers and Dean of Faculties at Glasgow University [2]
On 27 April 1847, he married Elizabeth Lindsay Reid and they had four children:
