Phare du Cap Leucate, Maritime lighthouse in Cap Leucate, France.

Phare du Cap Leucate is a lighthouse on the Mediterranean coast featuring a white square tower topped with a red lantern. The structure guides maritime traffic passing through the waters along this rocky cape.

Construction was completed in 1950 with the light first activated in 1951 to aid mariners in this coastal area. Since then it has served as a warning beacon for vessels approaching this rocky headland.

The tower is listed in France's general inventory of cultural heritage. Its name comes from Cap Leucate, the headland in the Corbières maritimes of the Aude where it stands, on the territory of the commune of Leucate. The light marks the cape for vessels sailing the Mediterranean off this coast.

The tower stands on the territory of the commune of Leucate, at the southern end of Cap Leucate in the Corbières maritimes. It is automatic but guarded, and visits inside are not permitted, so it can only be seen from outside. The gallery and lantern are best viewed from a distance, where the red cap and railing stand out against the white masonry.

The tower stands 19.4 metres tall, and its light sits at a focal height of 68.3 metres above the sea because the cape itself is high ground. The square shaft is white with grey stone quoins at the corners, and the lantern and gallery are painted red. A keeper still watches over the automated light, and the building at its foot holds the machine room, a workshop and a transformer post.
