Harwich Lifeboat Station is an RNLI station located in the town of Harwich in the English county of Essex.〔''OS Explorer Map 184 – ''Colchester, Harwich & Clacton-on-Sea''.Published: Ordnance Survey – Southampton.

The station serves a particularly busy section of coastline with Harwich being a very busy ferry terminal.〔''Heroes All!'' – The story of the RNLI. Author: Beilby, Alec.

== History ==
The first lifeboat at Harwich was in 1821 and was provided by a Lifeboat called ''Braybrooke'',〔 which had been named in honour of Richard Griffin, 2nd Baron Braybrooke, Lord Lieutenant of Essex.〔''Wreck and Rescue on the Essex Coast'' - The wreck and rescue series. Author: Malster, Robert.Publisher: D.B.Barton; First edition. Hardback 168 pages. Edition: October 1968. ISBN 978 0851530000〕 The finance behind the organisation came from the ''Essex Lifeboat Association'', but there funds could not stretch to providing a lifeboat house for the ''Braybrooke'' and so she was kept permanently afloat in the harbour. Running concurrently with the Braybrooke was a second lifeboat on the Suffolk side of the estuary at Landguard Fort, and this lifeboat was called the Orwell. Neither of these lifeboats achieved a great deal of success and the Orwell was eventually sold and was converted to a yacht. There is no records of what became of the Braybrooke although it is recorded that the Harwich lifeboat had ceased operations by 1825.〔
