Oviši Lighthouse (Latvian: Ovišu bāka) is a lighthouse located in Oviši [lv], Latvia near Tārgale on the Courland Peninsula coast of the Baltic Sea.

The lighthouse is the oldest functioning lighthouse in Latvia; the village was once a settlement of plunderers which made false signal-fires to rob seamen on stranded ships and steal their goods.

The locality, on historic maps, is known as Lusesort or Lyserort.

[5] When the lighthouse was built in the nineteenth century, it was used as a navigational aid, with its walls more than half a metre thick.
