The Seaton branch line was a railway branch line connecting the seaside resort of Seaton, Devon, in England, to the main line network at Seaton Junction railway station, on the main line between Salisbury and Exeter.

The branch line opened in 1868; it became very popular with holidaymakers, greatly enhancing the attraction of the resort, but it declined and the line was closed in 1966.
