This contribution reports on the recent measurements of baryon electromagnetic form factors at the BESIII experiment in Beijing. The Beijing e+e − collider BEPCII is a double-ring symmetric collider running at s$ \sqrt s $ between 2.0 and 4.6 GeV. Baryon electromagnetic form factors can be measured at BESIII in direct e+e−-annihilation and in initial state radiation processes. Based on the data collected by the BESIII detector at 12 center of mass energies between 2.23 and 3.67 GeV, the measured e+e−→p−p$ \mathop e\nolimits^ + \mathop e\nolimits^ - \to \mathop p\limits^ - p $ cross section and the time-like proton form factor are presented. Preliminary results from the analysis of the initial state radiation process e+e−→p−pγ$ \mathop e\nolimits^ + \mathop e\nolimits^ - \to \mathop p\limits^ - p\gamma $ using a data set of 7.408 fb−1 collected at center of mass energies between 3.773 and 4.6 GeV, are also shown. The cross sections for e+e−→Λc−−Λc+math5−−−−−e+e−→Λ−Λ$ \mathop e\nolimits^ + \mathop e\nolimits^ - \to \mathop {\mathop \Lambda \nolimits_c^ - }\limits^ - \mathop \Lambda \nolimits_c^ + $ and e+e−→Λ−Λ$ \mathop e\nolimits^ + \mathop e\nolimits^ - \to \mathop \Lambda \limits^ - \Lambda $ are measured near threshold with unprecedented precision. Preliminary results on the first measurement of the ^c form factor ratio |GE|/|GM| are also given. Ongoing analysis based on the high luminosity energy scan from 2015 and from radiative return at different s$ \sqrt s $ are also described.
