The Puerto de la Cruz Lighthouse is a modern lighthouse located in Puerto de la Cruz, on the northern coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain. Built in 1995, it stands at a height of 27 meters (89 feet) and has a focal height of 31 meters (102 feet) above sea level, allowing its light to be seen for 16 nautical miles.

The lighthouse is a remarkable example of modern design, featuring a square skeletal tower made of dark brown steel with white trim. It is one of seven lighthouses marking the coastline of Tenerife, and is maintained by the Port Authority of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The lighthouse's light characteristic is a pattern of two flashes of white light every seven seconds, and is registered under the international Admiralty number D2833.

The Puerto de la Cruz Lighthouse is situated within a seafront car park, to the west of the small port in the town. It is one of several modern lighthouses built in the 1980s as part of a maritime lighting plan for the Canary Islands. The lighthouse's unique design and location make it a notable feature of the Puerto de la Cruz coastline.
