Seal Bay Aquatic Reserve was a marine protected area off the south coast of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It covered the waters in front of Seal Bay, including the intertidal zone, and was part of Seal Bay Conservation Park. The reserve was created on 30 November 1971 (originally named the Seal Beach Aquatic Reserve) to protect a major breeding colony of the Australian sea lion. It stretched about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) seaward and covered 4.04 square kilometres, including the waters around Nobby Islet. It bordered the Bales Beach Aquatic Reserve to the east. Public access to the waters near Seal Bay, fishing, and removing marine organisms were not allowed.

In 2012, the area fell within a restricted access zone inside the Southern Kangaroo Island Marine Park. In 2014, the IUCN classified it as a Category Ia protected area. The Seal Bay Aquatic Reserve was abolished on 20 October 2016. It was governed by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA).
