Bjuröklubb, Nature reserve and lighthouse complex in Skellefteå Municipality, Sweden.

Bjuröklubb is a peninsula and nature reserve on the Bothnian Bay in Skellefteå Municipality, with a lighthouse built in 1859 on a cliff 52 metres above sea level. The site includes the fishing harbour Jungfruhamn, a chapel from the 17th century, and several ancient remains. A ramp leads to the lighthouse, and the keeper's lookout offers overnight stays.

A chapel was built on the site in the 17th century. In 1519 Olaus Magnus, Sweden's last Catholic bishop, visited Bjuröklubb and his logbook with drawings describes extensive activity there at that time. A pilot station was established at Gärdviken in 1821, and in 1859 a lighthouse was built on a cliff 52 metres above sea level. The pilot station closed in 1967 and the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1970.

The name Bjuröklubb combines the island name Bjurö with klubb, a local word for a rounded headland. The artist Laleh, who lived in Skellefteå for a few years, wrote the song "Bjurö klubb" during walks along the reserve's shores; it appears on her 2009 album Me and Simon.

The lighthouse is reached by a built ramp, making it accessible for wheelchair users. The former pilots' lookout in the lighthouse can be booked for overnight stays, and in summer a café operates on the site. The reserve lies on the peninsula's eastern point, where sea breezes keep the sky clearer than inland.

Bjuröklubb's SMHI weather station has recorded monthly means since 1878 and precipitation since 1879, with daily maximum and minimum temperatures in open data since 1951. It was moved slightly in 1995, yet records are still listed as uninterrupted from 1901. Its 1961–1990 climate was subarctic (Dfc), shifting toward humid continental (Dfb) in the 21st century.
