Griffiths Island Lighthouse is a historic bluestone lighthouse located at the eastern tip of Griffiths Island near Port Fairy in Victoria's Moyne Shire. Built in 1859 to guide vessels into Port Fairy Bay, then known as Belfast, it remains a prominent maritime landmark. The small white tower stands within a protected nature reserve known for its short-tailed shearwater colony, coastal walking tracks and scenic views over Bass Strait and the Moyne River mouth.

Visitors can walk via a causeway from Port Fairy to Griffiths Island and follow a loop walking track to the lighthouse at the island's eastern end. The lighthouse is a small white bluestone tower viewed from the exterior only, set on a rocky point with views of Bass Strait, the Moyne River mouth and Port Fairy coastline. The island is a nature reserve with coastal vegetation, shearwater burrows, seabirds and interpretive signs. There is no interior access to the lighthouse.
