Fethard Lifeboat Station is the base for a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) inshore lifeboat at Fethard-on-Sea on the south coast of County Wexford, Ireland. The RNLI first stationed a lifeboat at Fethard in 1886. The station had been scheduled for closure in 1914, when it was decided to place a motor-powered lifeboat at Dunmore East, but the station was closed prematurely, after nine of the 14 crew lost their lives during the rescue of the crew of the schooner Mexico. A station was re-established at Fethard, when an inshore lifeboat was placed there in 1996.
