The French raid on Seaford in 1545 was one of a series of coordinated attacks on the Sussex coast by detached squadrons from the main French fleet operating in the Channel. Seaford had suffered similar raids throughout the Hundred Years War and remained exposed due to its lack of a proper fortification. The 1545 attack was the last major French raid on Seaford.
