Cape Rachado Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Alor Gajah District, Malacca, Malaysia

Cape Rachado Lighthouse is a whitewashed masonry tower 24 metres high with a lantern and gallery, standing on a fort-like foundation at Cape Rachado in Alor Gajah District, Malacca. A double-storey keeper's house adjoins its base, and a concrete tower built in 1990 for a MEASAT radar stands beside it.

Local accounts trace the lighthouse to the 16th century, after Portugal took Malacca in 1511, though the present structure dates from 1863. The Dutch VOC took over the site with Malacca in 1641, and a second version was claimed built in 1817 under William Farquhar. A concrete tower with a MEASAT radar was added in 1990.

The lighthouse stands within woodland on the summit of Tanjung Tuan, a promontory known in Malay as Cape Rachado. The cape's name, given by the Portuguese, means "Broken Cape". The surrounding forest is a stopover for migratory raptors, and the site is a known birdwatching spot.

The site is closed to the public for safety reasons, so the tower and keeper's house cannot be entered. The entrance gate stands near Ilham Resort, and a stone trail built by the Malacca Wildlife Department runs from beside the lighthouse toward Tok Keramat Lela and a lookout over Pulau Intan.

The 1990 reinforced-concrete tower beside the 1863 lighthouse carries a MEASAT radar that watches ship traffic in the Strait of Malacca and supports communications. The original tower is a 24-metre whitewashed masonry cylinder with lantern, gallery and a double-storey keeper's house at its base, all on a fort-like foundation.
