The Agdenes lighthouse (or Ringflua) is a lighthouse on the Trondheimsfjord in the municipality of Agdenes in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway.
The original lighthouse building was built in 1804 near the shore of the Trondheimsfjord. In 1984 the old building was closed and a new lighthouse was built on Ringflua, a tiny rock in the fjord.
The new lighthouse is about 12 metres (39 ft) tall and can be seen for up to 11.7 nautical miles (21.7 km; 13.5 mi). It has an occulting light that blinks white, red, and green over an eight second period.
It is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of Vassbygda. About 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) across the fjord to the north is Brekstad in Ørland and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) across the fjord to the southeast is Hasselvika in Rissa.
