The SEA Underground, formerly called the Satellite Transit System (STS), is an automated people mover (APM) system operating in the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport in SeaTac, Washington, United States.

The APM was designed to quickly transport passengers to and from the North and South Satellites, and around the airport's Main Terminal.
