Cape Spencer Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Cape Spencer on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The navigation aid was originally established as an automatic beacon which was first lit in late 1950, was established after a lengthy period of lobbying of the Australian government. The automatic beacon was replaced in 1975 by an automatic lighthouse facility.
