Stephens Island Lighthouse, Lighthouse on Stephens Island, Marlborough District, New Zealand.

Stephens Island Lighthouse is a white cast iron tower on Stephens Island / Takapourewa, the highest lighthouse site in New Zealand at 183 metres above sea level. Its light flashes white once every six seconds and has a range of 18 nautical miles. The original components came from Edinburgh and France, and the tower was first lit on 29 January 1894.

This light station began operations on January 29, 1894, with components imported from Edinburgh and France. Its establishment marked the start of modern navigation safety for ships traveling through this remote ocean region.

The Māori name Takapourewa comes from the takapou trees (matipo) that once grew down to the water's edge, making the island seem to float; rewa means float in Māori. The name was recorded long before the lighthouse, and the island is still known by it alongside Stephens Island.

This light station operates automatically and is controlled remotely from Wellington using solar power for operation. Visitors should know that the island is hard to reach and accessible only under certain conditions.

The Stephens Island wren became known to science only after keeper David Lyall's cat Tibbles caught specimens in 1894. The species was extinct by the winter of 1895, and eleven of Lyall's specimens, described as "torn and bedraggled", are held in museums.
