Sarah Seager (born 1958) is a conceptual artist associated with the California Conceptualism movement of the late 1980s through mid-1990s based out of Los Angeles, California. She is known for making "clean works, many of them white, in which objects seem not so much removed from function as between functions" as described by Michael Brenson of The New York Times.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/19/arts/review-art-in-the-arena-of-the-mind-at-the-whitney.html|title=Review/Art; In the Arena of the Mind, at the Whitney|last=Brenson|first=Michael|date=1990-10-19|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-01-19|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}} She is also known for her published art work by the title "Excuse my Dust" that was done in conjunction with the curators of the Smithsonian Institution.{{Cite web|url=http://siris-archives.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!215065!0|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120226204607/http://siris-archives.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!215065!0|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-02-26|title=Excuse my dust [art original] / Sarah Seager|date=2012-02-26|access-date=2019-01-19}}
