Seaton Carew /kəˈr/ is a seaside resort in the Borough of Hartlepool in County Durham, England. It gives its name to the Seaton ward, which had an estimated population of 7,194 in 2021. It is deemed part of the Hartlepool built-up area by the Office for National Statistics, but is separated from the main part of the urban area by the Durham Coast Line.

The area was first recorded in the 12th century as owned by a family "de Carou" (of Carew),
