Seed Productions was a film production company associated with 20th Century Fox, started by Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, with producer and business partner John Palermo.

The company's headquarters were located at the 20th Century Fox lot at Century City, Los Angeles, California, however an Australian office was opened in 2006 at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney.[http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=122677 Hugh Jackman sets up Australian camp] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120714034525/news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=122677 |date=2012-07-14 }}, ninemsn, August 16, 2006.

Seed's first planned project was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a film detailing the origins of the character Wolverine played by Jackman in the X-Men film series.[http://www.smh.com.au/news/Film/Hughs-howling-success/2005/06/13/1118514955895.html Hugh's howling success], The Sydney Morning Herald, June 13, 2005. Wolverine was scheduled to begin filming just after completion of the third film in the series, X-Men: The Last Stand, but production delays delayed principal filming in New Zealand until January 18, 2008.[http://www.3news.co.nz/Shooting-for-Wolverine-set-to-commence-in-South-Island/tabid/209/articleID/44401/Default.aspx Shooting for Wolverine set to commence in South Island], TV3, January 27, 2008. In the meantime, the company produced The List starring Ewan McGregor, three cricket documentaries starring Jackman's best friend Gus Worland, and the short-lived television series Viva Laughlin.

Seed Productions closed in 2010, with Jackman deciding to focus on his acting career, while Palermo would have a new producing deal at 20th Century Fox.{{Cite web|last=Browne|first=Niall|date=August 19, 2010|title=Hugh Jackman's Seed Productions Closes Up Shop|url=https://screenrant.com/hugh-jackman-seed-productions/|access-date=February 10, 2022|website=Screen Rant}}
