Seacht (Irish: seven) was a college drama series following the lives of seven college students (Brian, Caroline, Pete, Joanne, Eithne, Linda, Decko, Paddy, and Marcas) at the Arts Department of Queen's University in Belfast.

The drama was broadcast on Irish language state broadcaster TG4 and BBC Two Northern Ireland. The show attracted an audience of around 40,000. It aired on Mondays 22:55 on TG4, repeated Saturdays at 22:05, and on BBC Two NI on Tuesdays at 22:00.

The first series of Seacht was nominated for IFTA and won the Young People category at the 2009 Celtic Media Festival Awards.

Seacht is a creation of Orla King and writer Anne Learmont.

The series was produced by Stirling Film & Television Productions Ltd., Tyrone Productions, and Eo Fis Teoranta and financed by IFB, Northern Ireland Screen, BCI and TG4.

The first series was shot on location in Queen's University, Belfast, in July and August 2007, the second series during the Summer of 2009.

Each of the seven lead roles were played by young actors who were selected following extensive nationwide auditions. For the second series three roles had to be cast (replacement for Diarmuid Murtagh as Brian, Paddy and Marcus).
