Eyemouth Lifeboat Station is a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) marine-rescue facility in Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Scotland.

The station was founded in 1876 to protect local fisherman during periods of poor weather conditions. The original lifeboat house built in the town cost £500 to complete, this was replaced in 1908 with a new house and new facilities were completed in 1992 and extended in 2010 at a cost of over £200,000. The stations lifeboat has been placed in the towns harbour afloat since the 1960s with a poontoon berth most recently been added on 2008.

The station currently has the Barclaycard Cruiser all weather Trent-class lifeboat and MYWAY inshore D-class (IB1) in service. The station has received two medals of recognition, one silver in 1991 and a bronze from 1917.
