The Stafford, later Stafford-King-Harman Baronetcy, of Rockingham in the County of Roscommon, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 21 January 1914 for Thomas Stafford, in recognition of his services for public health causes in Ireland. He was later a Senator of the Irish Free State. Stafford married Frances Agnes, daughter of Edward Robert King-Harman, of Rockingham, County Roscommon, grandson of The 1st Viscount Lorton (see Viscount Lorton). Their son, the second Baronet, assumed the additional surnames of King and Harman. The title became extinct on his death in 1987.

  • Sir Cecil William Francis Stafford-King-Harman, 2nd Baronet (1895–1987), who married a granddaughter of William Henry Smith. Sir Cecil sold off what remained of the Rockingham Estate in the north of County Roscommon in the early 1960s. Most of this was bought by the Land Commission. A large part of this land later became part of Lough Key Forest Park.
