Brean Leisure Park, previously known as Holiday Resort Unity, is an amusement park in Brean, near Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England. It covers about 200 acres and has more than 30 attractions, including four roller coasters. The park is open from March to November each year and attracts around 750,000 visitors annually. It is owned by Holiday Resort Unity and run by Phil Booth.

Brean Leisure Park sits on land that began as Unity Farm. In 1946 Albert and Marie House bought the farm and ran it as a dairy farm. From the late 1940s, camping and seaside holidays started, and in 1948 planning permission allowed caravans; by the 1950s camping became a big part of the site. In the 1970s and 1980s the park grew with a golf centre, a swimming pool, markets, a donkey derby, and more. A greyhound track opened in 1975 and ran until 1984.

In the 1990s more facilities were added, including Brean Splash, a river-like ride at the pool, and two ten-pin bowling lanes. In 2000 the RJ's Entertainment complex opened, bringing a large new venue. In 2008 Sooty, Sweep and Soo moved in after Richard Cadell bought the rights.

In 2014 the park was sold to a family from Barry Island, South Wales. That year Brean Splash received a £2 million upgrade, adding a new indoor splash area opened in summer 2014.

The park has hosted concerts by artists such as Peter Andre and The Wurzels, and has been used for TV and film, including Sky's Brainiac: Science Abuse and the BBC's Casualty. A Rosie and Jim episode was filmed there in 1997, and a CBBC episode of The Sparticle Mystery was filmed on site.
