Scoglio Palumbo Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Scoglio Palumbo) is an active lighthouse located on an islet 102 metres (335 ft) long and 67 metres (220 ft) wide just 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km; 0.69 mi) west of the entrance to the port of Trapani on the Sicily Channel.

The lighthouse, built in 1881 by Genio civile, consists of a cylindrical tower, 12 metres (39 ft) high, with balcony and lantern.

The light is positioned at 16 metres (52 ft) above sea level and emits one white flash in a 5 seconds period visible up to a distance of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).

The lighthouse is completely automated powered by a solar unit and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 3138 E.F.[2][3] This article about an Italian building or structure is a stub.
