A prosthetic leg washed up on a Dunedin beach is prompting searches to find the owner.

A police spokeswoman said police were called to Lawyers Head Beach at 1.30pm today after a member of the public located the leg sitting on the sand.

Police would be working on establishing who the prosthetic belongs to, the spokeswoman said.
