The Point of Shoals Light was a lighthouse located in the James River in Virginia.

It was the target of a Confederate raid in the Civil War, and by 1869 concerns were raised about its safety.

These concerns were realized two years later when damage from ice flows brought about the rebuilding of the structure.

Its unmanned life was brief, as continued shoaling in old channel led to the dredging of a new channel on the opposite side of the river the following year, at which point the light was deactivated.

The house was removed in the 1960s, but the iron foundation remains, unlit.
