Seaford is a metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It lies within the City of Onkaparinga. Seaford railway station is the southern terminus of the Seaford railway line from Adelaide railway station.

Seaford is a popular surfing beach due to its accessibility from Adelaide and on public transport via the train line. Seaford Shopping Centre, between the train and beach, is the retail and commercial hub for the area. Facilities elsewhere including schools, medical clinics, bakeries, recreation, sports and community centres, parks and playgrounds make it a walkable coastal neighbourhood that attracts many families.

As the population of the suburb has expanded, the Seaford Boardriders club has grown in prominence and success, winning various titles, with older surfers long associated with the area sharing knowledge with emerging generations.
