Kvitsøy Lighthouse stands on the west side of the village of Ydstebøhamn on the island of Kvitsøy in Kvitsøy Municipality, Rogaland county, Norway, and is 27 metres tall. It marks the entrance to the Boknafjorden, the main shipping route to Stavanger and inland Rogaland. A lighthouse was first established on the site in 1700, and the present structure dates from 1829. It was automated in 1969 and has been a protected historic building since 1998.
