Bastøy Lighthouse (Norwegian: Bastøy fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Horten Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. It is located on the island of Bastøy in the Oslofjorden, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southeast of the town of Horten. It was established in 1840 and originally consisted of a stone house with a low tower. It was replaced by an automated light in 1986.[2][3]
