We derive type II supergravity solutions corresponding to space-filling regular and fractional D branes on (9{minus}p)-dimensional conical transverse spaces. Fractional Dp-branes are wrapped D(p+2)-branes; therefore, our solutions exist only if the base of the cone has a non-vanishing Betti number b{sub 2}. We also consider 11-dimensional SUGRA solutions corresponding to regular and fractional M2 branes on 8-dimensional cones whose base has a non-vanishing b{sub 3}. In this case a fractional M2-brane is an M5-brane wrapped over a 3-cycle. We discuss the gauge theory intepretation of these solutions, as well as of the solutions constructed by Cvetic and co-workers.
