Mokohinau Islands Lighthouse is a lighthouse on Burgess Island, one of the Mokohinau Islands, which lie of the northeast coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is owned and operated by Maritime New Zealand.
The lighthouse was built in 1883 and first lit during June of that year. It's isolated position, approximately 50 km northeast of Cape Rodney makes it one of the most distant lighthouses from the mainland.
In 1980, the lighthouse was fully automated and the lighthouse keepers were withdrawn. The lighthouse is now monitored remotely from Wellington. The light flashes every 12 seconds and can be seen for 19 nautical miles (35 km).
