Beer is a village and civil parish in the East Devon district of Devon, England. The village faces Lyme Bay and is a little over one mile west of the town of Seaton. At the 2011 Census, the parish had a population of 1,317.

Beer is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, at which time it was located within Colyton hundred and had 28 households. Its name is not derived from the drink, but from the Old English word bearu, meaning "grove" and referring to the original forestation that surrounded the village.

It is a pretty coastal village that grew up around a smugglers' cove and caves which were once used to store contraband goods. These are now part of the attraction of the village. Many of the buildings are faced with flint, a hard glassy stone found in the local chalk rock.
