Totland Bay Lifeboat Station was located at the foot of Widdick Chine, on the shore at Totland, on the northern shore of the Western Peninsula, of the Isle of Wight.

A lifeboat was first placed at Totland in 1870 by a local committee, but was withdrawn and transferred to Shanklin, on the establishment of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) station in 1885.

Totland Bay Lifeboat Station was closed in 1924, following the decision to locate a new motor-powered lifeboat at Yarmouth.
