Cape St George Lighthouse stood near Jervis Bay Village in Jervis Bay Territory, Australia, approximately 3 kilometres south of the southern entrance to Jervis Bay. Built in 1860, the lighthouse operated until 1889, after which it was systematically demolished between 1917 and 1922 to prevent navigational confusion during daylight hours. The ruins of the structure survive and are recognized on the Commonwealth Heritage List.
