Bjørnsund Lighthouse (Norwegian: Bjørnsund fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Fræna Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The lighthouse is located on the small island of Moøya in the Bjørnsund islands, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the village of Bud on the mainland.
The lighthouse was first established in 1871 and it was automated in 1994. The lighthouse was listed as a protected site in 2000.
The 9-metre (30 ft) tall lighthouse emits a white, red, or green light (depending on direction) occulting twice every 8 seconds. The 16,200 candela light can be seen for up to 15.3 nautical miles (28.3 km; 17.6 mi). In 1977, a Racon beacon was established.
