Lefkada Lighthouse, also known as the Santa Maura Lighthouse, is a white octagonal tower located on the southern tip of the Greek island of Lefkada in the Ionian Sea. It was built in 1890 by the British and has been in operation ever since.

The tower is made of white marble and is 17 meters high. Its light, visible from a distance of 18 nautical miles, flashes every 10 seconds and has a focal height of 39 meters above sea level. It is powered by electricity and is controlled remotely by the Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service.

The lighthouse is located on the narrow strip of land that connects Lefkada to the mainland, known as the Lefkada Channel. The area around the lighthouse is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, and visitors can also enjoy views of the nearby islet of Skorpios, once owned by Aristotle Onassis.
