Ellingråsa Lighthouse is a lighthouse that is located on the island of Bjørøya in the Folda sea in the municipality of Flatanger in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 22.5-metre (74 ft) tall light can be seen from about 14.5 nmi (26.9 km; 16.7 mi) away. The lighthouse was completed in 1888 to replace the old Villa Lighthouse which closed in 1890. Ellingråsa Lighthouse was automated in 1959. Its lighting sequence is white, red or green lights, flashing twice every five seconds.
