The Den Oever Lighthouse is a cast iron lighthouse located in Den Oever, the Netherlands, on the Wadden Sea. Erected in 1885, it was originally located at the western end of the former island of Wieringen where it served as the rear light of a pair of leading lights. In 1930, when the Afsluitdijk was finished, the tower was relocated to the eastern end of Wieringen at Den Oever. While the light was first directed the Wadden Sea, it was moved southward in 1932 and turned to face the IJsselmeer. It was deactivated in 2009.
