Keskiniemi Light is a sector light tower located in the northwestern promontory of Hailuoto island in the Gulf of Bothnia in Finland. It is located next to the Keskiniemi beacon tower built in 1858.
Keskiniemi Light is a square steel skeletal tower with white octagonal lantern and gallery. The focal plane of the light is 8.8 metres (29 ft) and it has a range of 6.5 nautical miles.
