Pencarrow Head Lighthouse, a decommissioned cast-iron lighthouse standing 11.5 metres high, was built in 1859 at Pencarrow Head in Lower Hutt City within the Wellington region of New Zealand's North Island. Now classified as a Heritage New Zealand Category 1 historic place, the structure represents nineteenth-century maritime engineering and continues to mark this significant coastal location, though it no longer functions as an active navigational aid.
