The Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS) is a nonprofit US based organization founded in 1984 which aims to promote electro-acoustic music. In particular, the organization aims:

To encourage the composition and performance of electro-acoustic music
To develop a network for technical information and support
To promote concerts and radio broadcasts of electro-acoustic music both in the US and abroad
To create an exchange of information through newsletters and other means of communication
To establish and maintain a national archive and information center for electro-acoustic music

In 1987, the society began giving the SEAMUS Lifetime Achievement Award to acknowledge people who have made significant contributions to electro-acoustic music.
