Foxton Beach is a small settlement in the Horowhenua District of the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand's North Island.

The town is a popular holiday destination due mainly to its beach and the bird sanctuary at the Manawatu Estuary.

Te Wharangi was a large Māori settlement at the location and a riverside fishing station where canoes could be tied up.

European settlement began in the 1840s, when it became a staging point for horsedrawn travel along the coast between Wellington and Whanganui.

The beach is popular for swimming in summer and is patrolled by the Foxton Surf Life Saving Club.
