Lehua Rock Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Kauai County, Hawaii. Hawaii has 17 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 3 of them in Kauai County.

Its light sits 705 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 4s (a white flash every 4 seconds); it guards Pacific Ocean.

Status check, 2026-11: The original 1931 concrete tower was replaced in 1989 by a light on a 10 ft fiberglass pole, so what stands now is a small pole-mounted Coast Guard light, not a lighthouse tower. Its solar LED lantern was replaced in April 2025, and the record's 6 m height doesn't match the 10 ft pole. It stands at 22.0189° N, 160.0983° W.
