Capo dell'Armi Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Capo dell'Armi) is an active lighthouse in Reggio Calabria, southern Italy. Located along the cliffs of the headland, in the comune of Motta San Giovanni it is an important reference for ships coming into the Strait of Sicily from the south.
Activated in 1867 and renovated in 1959, the lighthouse consists of an octagonal white tower on a 2-storey brick keeper's house. The optics of the lighthouse are made from Fresnel lenses which rotate around a lamp of 1000 watts.
