Seabrook is a city in Harris County in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 9,443 at the 2000 census and estimated to be 11,182 in 2006.

It is the most south-eastern city of Harris County. Seabrook's closest neighbors include La Porte to the north; Pasadena to the south west; Houston, El Lago and Taylor Lake Village to the west; and League City, Clear Lake Shores and Kemah to the south. Seabrook is bound by Galveston Bay on its east side and Clear Lake to its south. Clear Lake and Clear Creek separate Harris and Galveston Counties. Residents of Seabook pay property tax to both Harris County and the Clear Creek Independent School District in Galveston County.

Seabrook is well-known among Houston metropolitan area residents for its fish markets on Waterfront Drive where resident shrimpers and fishermen bring in their catches daily. Besides bordering the bay, the city encompasses marshes though which runoff from inland fields drain to the bay. There are eight miles of continuous trails from Hammer Street to Galveston Bay at Pine Gully Park, where the Lucky Trails Marathon is run in March. Seabrook is also home of the eclectic Maribelle's which sponsors a popular 5K fun run every August. Seabrook is also host to the Texas Concours d'Elegance "Keels & Wheels" classic car and boat show held each year the first weekend in May at Lakewood Yacht Club.

The lower Todville Road area of Seabrook is directly across the channel (that connects Clear Lake to Galveston Bay) from the Kemah Boardwalk.

The current mayor of Seabrook is Gary Renola.
