The Price baronetcy, of Jamaica in the West Indies, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 13 August 1768 for Charles Price, Speaker of the House of Assembly of Jamaica. He was the son of the plantation owner Col. Charles Price and his wife Sarah Edmunds, and grandson of Francis Price, who settled in Jamaica in the 1650s.

The 2nd Baronet also served as Speaker of the House of Assembly of Jamaica. The title became extinct on his death in 1788.
