The Cape Rachado Lighthouse, known in Malay as Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan, stands at Cape Rachado in Alor Gajah District, Malacca, Malaysia. It is believed to be the country's oldest lighthouse, with a history said to date back to Portuguese rule of Malacca in the 16th century, though the present masonry tower, 24 metres tall, was built in 1863.
