Portland Bill Lighthouse, standing 41 metres tall on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England, is the largest and most recent of the lighthouses at Portland Bill. Completed by 1906 and operated by Trinity House, the structure is distinctively painted in white and red stripes. It first shone on 11 January 1906, guiding vessels through the treacherous waters surrounding the Bill and serving as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel. The lighthouse and its boundary walls are designated Grade II listed buildings.
