Seacroft is a large area in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK. It is known for being a "council estate," which means many of the homes were built by the local council for people to live in. Most of Seacroft was built in the 1950s around an older area called Seacroft Green.

About 18,000 people live in Seacroft. In the 1960s, a main building called the Seacroft Civic Centre was built. This building was taken down in 1999. In its place, the Seacroft Green Shopping Centre was built. This shopping centre has a big Tesco supermarket. It also has a bus station where you can catch buses to Leeds, Wetherby, Harrogate, and other nearby towns and areas.
