East Seaham is a primarily rural suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia.[1][3] It is situated on the east bank of the Williams River, opposite Glen Oak and Seaham.[7] At the 2011 census, the population of East Seaham and the adjacent suburb of Balickera was 359, with the two suburbs having an average population density of 5.5/km2 (14/sq mi).[8]

The Greswick Public School operated in East Seaham between 1895 and 1937, supported by the development of farms in and around East Seaham. The schoolhouse was moved to Seaham after a bushfire in 1939 and operated as Seaham Public School until the 1960s.[9]
