The Griffith, later Waldie-Griffith Baronetcy, of Munster Grillagh in the County of Londonderry and of Pencraig in the County of Anglesey, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 20 April 1858 for the Irish geologist and mining engineer Richard Griffith. The second Baronet assumed the additional surname of Waldie, which was that of his maternal grandfather.

Similarly, without a Royal Licence, they would not have a right to the Waldie crest.
