Southwold Lifeboat Station is located at the end of Ferry Road at Southwold Harbour, on the north bank of the River Blyth, in the county of Suffolk, England.

A lifeboat was first stationed at Southwold by the Southwold Lifeboat Society in 1841. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1854, the station in operation until its closure in 1940. The RNLI re-opened Southwold as an Inshore lifeboat station in 1963.

The station currently operates an Atlantic 85-class Inshore lifeboat, Annie Tranmer (B-868), on station since 2013.
