Seacombe is a district of the town of Wallasey, on the Wirral. Seacombe is dominated by three landmarks. The first of these is one of the terminals for the Mersey Ferry, the legendary "Ferry 'cross the Mersey" immortalised in song by Gerry and the Pacemakers. The ferry travels in a triangular route between the Seacombe, Birkenhead and Liverpool terminals.

The second of these is the parish church of St Paul. The third is a building housing some of the ventilation systems for the Kingsway Tunnel, a colossal structure which faces the river. It consists of two huge grilles which resemble stereo speakers, and a central concrete flue-like structure. This building has an almost identical counterpart on the Liverpool side of the river.

Seacombe was originally a terminus for the Wirral Railway however passenger services ended in January 1960 and all services on the line terminated in June 1963. Much of the line to Seacombe station was used as the approach road to the Kingsway Tunnel.

Seacombe is also home to Spaceport, a space-themed visitor attraction situated near the ferry terminal. Spaceport was opened on the 26th July 2005.
