List of lighthouses in New Zealand

Cape Reinga lighthouse

This is a list of lighthouses in New Zealand. Maritime New Zealand operates and maintains 23 active lighthouses in New Zealand, listed below, along with a further 74 Light Beacons. All of these lighthouses are fully automated and controlled by a central control room in Wellington.

Some lights are instead operated by local port authorities, such as the Taiaroa Head^[1] and Bean Rock^[2] lighthouses. There are also several decommissioned lighthouses not listed below, including the Manukau South Head, Boulder Bank, and Akaroa lighthouses.

Many of New Zealand's earliest lighthouses were designed by Marine Engineer James Balfour and his successor John Blackett.
