Baron Joicey, of Chester-le-Street in the County of Durham, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1906 for the coal mining magnate Sir James Joicey, 1st Baronet, Member of Parliament for Chester-le-Street from 1885. He had already been created a baronet, of Longhirst and of Ulgham, both in the County of Northumberland, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 3 July 1893.[2][3][4]
He was succeeded by his eldest son, the 2nd Baron. He was High Sheriff of County Durham in 1910. The 2nd Baron lost his only son young, and on his death his younger brother succeeded as 3rd Baron. He was an army officer who commanded the 1st Battalion Suffolk Regiment World War I.[4] He was succeeded by his younger son, the 4th Baron. As of 2026, the titles are held by the latter's eldest son, the 5th Baron, who succeeded in 1993.
The family seat is Etal Manor on the Ford Castle and Etal Castle estate.[5]
