Crisp Point Light is a lighthouse in Luce County, Michigan. Michigan has 124 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow.

It was built in 1904, in the early 20th century, making it the 58th oldest of the 89 in Michigan with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 58 feet tall (24th tallest of 63 measured in Michigan); its light sits 62 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 6s (a white flash every 6 seconds); it guards Lake Superior; it was deactivated in 1992.
