Peeping Tom at the Seaside (French: L'Indiscret aux bains de mer) was an 1897 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 113 in its catalogues.[1]

The film is one of a small group of risqué "mature subjects" (i.e. stag films) Méliès made around this time; others included A Private Dinner, After the Ball, and A Hypnotist at Work.[2] Peeping Tom at the Seaside is currently presumed lost.[1]
