Portrush Lifeboat Station is situated on Kerr Street, in Portrush, a harbour town and seaside resort in County Antrim, sitting on the Ramore Head peninsula, on the northern coast of Northern Ireland.

A lifeboat station was first established at Portrush in 1860, by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

The station currently operates the Severn-class All-weather lifeboat, 17-30 William Gordon Burr (ON 1257), on station since 2008, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, The Ken Blair (D-871), on station since 2022.
