Template:GBmap Seer Green is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about a mile east of Beaconsfield and a mile south-west of Chalfont St Giles. It is also a station (Seer Green and Jordans) on the Chiltern Line between Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross.

The village name 'Seer' is French in origin, and means 'dry or arid place'. In manorial rolls of 1223 it was called La Sere. The affix 'Green' came later.

The village is home to Seer Green CofE School, a Church of England Church, a Baptist Church and a strong Scout group. The Scouts of the village are well known in the area for being placed well in annual competitions and for providing leisure activities for young children and teenagers.

Along with its neighbour Jordans, Seer Green was once a hamlet in the parish of Chalfont St Giles, though was separated in the 20th century because of its growth in size.
