Fingal Head Light, Maritime lighthouse in New South Wales, Australia

Fingal Head Light is a circular brick tower with a cement-rendered exterior, standing on the headland about 5 km south of Point Danger. A bluestone platform oversails at 3.7 m, carried on shaped bluestone corbels and ringed by a metal handrail, with a domed lantern holding a fourth-order catadioptric lens above.

The station was first established on 19 February 1872 as a roughly 30-foot wooden pole structure with a fixed kerosene wick burner giving a 1,000 cd white light. In October 1878 the Maritime Board of New South Wales decided to build a modern lighthouse; it was the third of five similar towers designed by James Barnet in 1878–80, alongside Richmond River, Clarence River, Tacking Point and Crowdy Head lights. Joseph William Mortley and Shepherd built the tower and keeper's cottage. On 15 June 1920 the light became an automatic carbide lamp of 1,500 cd with group flashing, and the station was demanned.

The first keeper, William Arnold, rowed daily from the Tweed Heads Pilot Station to light the kerosene lantern at sunset; a hut was built for him to stay in. His daughter described the 1872 wooden pole as shaped like a large meat safe on a structure resembling a pigeon loft.

The tower is reached by road from the Pacific Highway just south of the Tweed River, with parking provided. A public beach and picnic area lie just north of the lighthouse. The tower itself is closed to the public, so the light is seen from outside.

The tower is capped by an oversailing bluestone platform 12 feet (3.7 m) above ground, carried on shaped bluestone corbels and ringed by a metal handrail. The lantern holds a fourth order catadioptric apparatus, and the light shows red to the east and white elsewhere, flashing every five seconds.
