Sidmouth Lifeboat is a fully self-funded independent lifeboat charity in East Devon that provides lifeboat and lifeguard services, and is located at The Esplanade in Sidmouth, a town approximately 15 miles (24 km) east of Exeter, on the Jurassic Coast of Devon, England. A lifeboat station was established at Sidmouth in 1869 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), operating until its closure in 1912.

A new Independent Lifeboat station was established in 1968, and since 2019, its principal lifeboat is currently an Arctic 24 RIB named Peter & Barbara Truesdale. Sidmouth Independent Lifeboat is not part of, or funded by the RNLI, although it does have close links to the RNLI through the nature of its work. Sidmouth Lifeboat is funded entirely by the community in and around the Sid Valley and friends of Sidmouth Lifeboat from further away.
