The Gull Rocks Light was a lighthouse at the entrance to Newport harbor northwest of Rose Island.

The Gull Rocks obstruct the passage north of Rose Island, and in the mid-19th century the Old Colony Steamboat Company took steps to mark the reef.

The unique roof caused some problems with the usual practice of collecting rainwater in cisterns, as it was prone to contamination from salt spray.

The first keeper, Frederick Purinton, was badly injured in 1894 by an assailant believed to be a local lobsterman, and quit the post two weeks later.

In 1969 construction of the Newport Bridge, which passes immediately adjacent to the rocks, rendered the light useless, and the tower was likewise removed, leaving the tiny oil house as the sole remaining trace of the station.
