The Carden baronetcy, of Templemore in the County of Tipperary, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 31 August 1787 for John Carden, commander of the 30th Regiment of Light Dragoons, which he had helped raise.[1][2][3][4]

His son from his third marriage, the 3rd Baronet who succeeded his half-brother, fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.[4] The 6th Baronet was a tank and vehicle designer.[5]

The title is marked "dormant" on the Official Roll.[6]
