Seymour, Ontario is a geographic township and former municipality located in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. It is currently part of the Municipality of Trent Hills.
The Township was named in 1798 for Lady Elizabeth Seymour, the wife of Hugh Percy, the first Duke of Northumberland. She later became the Baroness of Percy, from which adjoining Percy Township gets its name.

A settlement grew, and in 1876, the Village of Campbellford was separated from Seymour and incorporated as a separate municipality.
Seymour was originally part of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham, then Northumberland after the United Counties were restructured in 1974.
