Lynemouth is a village in Northumberland, England. The village is situated northeast of Ashington, and is in close proximity to the village of Ellington which is located to the north west. The village's location was decided by its close proximity to coal mines.

Lynemouth and the surrounding industrial area played an important role in the 1985 feature length docudrama Seacoal about the Seacoalers that make a living from collecting waste coal from the beach.

Also the village can be seen in the feature film Billy Elliot, where the village was used because of its 1980s coalfield looks.

To the south of the village is the Alcan Lynemouth Aluminium Smelter and power station.
