This is a list of lighthouses and lightvessels in Australia.

Australia has a coastline of , with over 350 lighthouses and navigational aids around the Australian coastline, and a single inland lighthouse, the Point Malcolm Lighthouse.

The first lighthouse was Macquarie Lighthouse, which was lit in 1793 as a tripod mounted wood and coal fired beacon. The last staffed lighthouse was Maatsuyker Island Lighthouse, off the south coast of Tasmania, which was automated in 1996.

Listing The lighthouses and lightvessels of Australia are listed in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency List of Lights publication 111. They are listed by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office on volume K of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. The ARLHS World List of Lights lists them with the prefix "AUS".

On The Lighthouse Directory, the lighthouses of Australia are listed according to their location: Coral Sea Islands Territory New South Wales, including Cape St George Lighthouse which is in Jervis Bay Territory. Northern Territory Queensland's East Coast, from Townsville southwards Far North Queensland South Australia Tasmania Victoria Western Australia

Another listing is held by Lighthouses of Australia Inc., which lists lighthouses by state. Western Australia Northern Territory South Australia Queensland New South Wales Victoria Tasmania

Another list exists at Australian Lighthouses, a website which includes both an A-Z list and a list by state.

A list also exists at SeaSide Lights, which lists lighthouses by state. Western Australia Northern Territory South Australia Queensland New South Wales Victoria Tasmania

In order to be listed below, an active lighthouse has to appear at least in one of The Lighthouse Directory, Lighthouses of Australia Inc. or SeaSide Lights. Other lists mentioned above include many lights which are hard to describe as "lighthouses".See for example, Brush Island Light, a small concrete hut with an automated lamp on top of it, not listed on The Lighthouse Directory, Lighthouses of Australia Inc. and SeaSide Lights but listed on Australian Lighthouses, List of Lights, Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals and the ARLHS World List of Lights. Historical lighthouses were sometimes included when they are mentioned in other reliable sources.

Management Most of the lighthouses and lightvessels in Australia are managed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), though the AMSA usually only manages the lighting equipment, with local authorities managing the lighthouses and parklands. In New South Wales the lighthouses and parklands are mostly managed by the Department of Environment, Climate Change & Water. In the Northern Territory some of the lighthouses are managed by the Darwin Port Corporation. In South Australia some of the stations are managed by the Department for Environment & Water. In Tasmania, many lighthouses are managed by the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service. In Victoria, harbour aids are maintained by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in the Melbourne area and by the Victorian Regional Channels Authority elsewhere, while parklands are mostly managed by Parks Victoria. In Western Australia some of the stations are managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Northern Territory Most of the lighthouses in the Northern Territory were constructed by the Commonwealth Lighthouse Service during the "Golden Age of Australian Lighthouses", between 1913 and 1920. These include Cape Don Light, East Vernon Light, Emery Point Light, Cape Hotham Light and Cape Fourcroy. reprinted in

Of these five, three can be considered "siblings", Cape Hotham Light, Emery Point Light and Cape Fourcroy Light. They are almost identical white square skeletal towers, and they also share a similar light characteristic, three flashes every 15 second (Fl.(3) 15s).
