Archer Point Light, Maritime lighthouse in Queensland, Australia

Archer Point Light is a square concrete equipment room topped with a lantern, standing on a 60-metre-high grassy headland about 29 km southeast of Cooktown, Queensland. The base of the 1883 timber lighthouse remains at the site.

The original structure built in 1883 was a timber frame covered with galvanized iron sheets. It was completely rebuilt in 1975 to meet new technical requirements.

The original 1883 lens is displayed at the Queensland Maritime Museum in Brisbane. The light worked with the Rocky Island light as a lead light, guiding ships between Hope Islands and the mainland to the south and between reefs and the mainland to the north.

The site is reached by a gravel road and is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The light shows four flashes every twenty seconds, with white sectors marking the clear passage into the channel and red and green sectors warning that a ship is outside it. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority operates the site and the light.

Archer Point Light was the last of seven concrete towers the Commonwealth built between 1964 and 1979; by construction order they were Cape Capricorn, New Caloundra, Point Danger, New Burnett Heads, Fitzroy Island, Point Cartwright and this one. Its lantern holds a 35,000 cd, 120-volt, 1000-watt tungsten-halogen bulb fed from the mains, with a diesel generator as backup.
