Seaton railway station was a station serving the villages of Seaton, Rutland, and Harringworth, Northamptonshire.
It was originally a minor intermediate station on the London and North Western Railway single track Rugby and Stamford Railway line, which opened in 1850. In 1873 it became a junction when the LNWR double tracked the line from Rugby to Seaton and opened a new double track line thence to Wansford. Rugby to Peterborough was then operated as the main line and Seaton to Stamford as a branch line. In 1894 the branch line to Uppingham was opened.
