Stanislav Range Front Light or Small Adzhyhol Lighthouse is an active lighthouse and range light, located on a concrete pier on a tiny islet about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west northwest of Rybalce, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Kherson, Ukraine. Together with Adziogol lighthouse, located 6.49 kilometres (4.03 mi) 109° from it, it serves guiding ships entering the Dnieper River.
The lighthouse is a vertical lattice hyperboloid structure of steel bars, designed in 1910 by Vladimir Shukhov. A watch room is enclosed by the structure, and a one-storey lighthouse keeper's house adjoins the lighthouse.
The site of the tower is accessible only by boat. The site is open to the public but the tower is closed.
