Easington Academy is a secondary school with academy status located in the village of Easington, County Durham, England.

The school was first created as Easington Comprehensive School in 1978, as a result of a merger between Easington Secondary Modern School and Murton Secondary Modern School. The school was later renamed Easington Community School, and then Easington Community Science College in January 2007 after becoming a specialist science college.[1] The school has become an academy school, and is now known as Easington Academy.
