Capo Focardo Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Capo Focardo) is an active lighthouse located at the south eastern tip of the gulf of Porto Azzurro on the island of Elba in the Tuscan Archipelago.

The lighthouse, built in 1863, consists of an octagonal tower, 13 metres (43 ft) high, with balcony and lantern placed atop of an old fort.

The light is positioned at 32 metres (105 ft) above sea level and emits three white flashes in a 15 seconds period visible up to a distance of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi).

The lighthouse is completely automated and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2040 E.F.[2]
