List of tallest lighthouses

This is a list of the tallest lighthouses, by tower height (as opposed to focal height, i.e. height of the lamp of a lighthouse from water level).

The list is based on the list of tallest lighthouses from The Lighthouse Directory.[1] As such, it includes "traditional lighthouses", i.e. buildings built by navigation safety authorities primarily as an aid to navigation. Some structures of interest that carry navigational lights, but were not mentioned in The Lighthouse Directory since they were not built primarily as lighthouses, are also listed, marked with "*".

Information regarding construction, year, and notes is from the list of tallest lighthouses at The Lighthouse Directory.[1] Sources are given for all other information.

Heights are from the United States Coast Guard Light List for the United States[2] and from NGA List of Lights for the rest of the world,[3] unless a better source exists. Where several lighthouses share the same height they share the same position, and are all marked with "=".
