The invention relates to a flood barrier 10 comprising a frame 30 and a panel 12 which is movable relative to the frame. The frame defines an opening for the panel. The panel is substantially rigid. One of the panel and frame has a groove 16 in which an inflatable sealing member 14 is located. The inflatable sealing member can span and seal a gap between the panel and frame. The panel may be a door and the frame may define a doorway, or the panel may be separate from the door and removable when not required.
