Dennis Head Old Beacon is a ruined lighthouse on North Ronaldsay in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Built in 1789 and about 21 metres tall, it is credited to Thomas Smith and Robert Stevenson. It is one of the earliest surviving purpose-built lighthouse towers in Scotland, and the beacon and its keepers' houses are protected as a scheduled monument.
