Kingston Seymour is a small village and civil parish with royal status in Somerset, England.

After flooding, the land was considered unsuitable for dairy cattle for some time and the resulting bad air was said to cause "attacks of the ague" in local people.

The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning.

The parish falls within the unitary authority of North Somerset which was created in 1996, as established by the Local Government Act 1992.

[8] The parish is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as part of the Wells and Mendip Hills constituency.

[9] The Anglican parish Church of All Saints dates from the late 14th or early 15th century and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style.

[10] The porch contains a plaque which describes the Bristol Channel floods which affected this area of coastal Somerset in 1607.
