The Kya lighthouse is a lighthouse in the municipality of Osen in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The lighthouse is located on the small island of Kya in the ocean 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northwest of Seter. The Buholmråsa lighthouse is located nearby, closer to the mainland.
The light on the 22.5-metre (74 ft) tall lighthouse can be see for 12.2 nautical miles (22.6 km; 14.0 mi). It is lit from July 25 until May 12 every year, but is not lit during the late spring and early summer due to the midnight sun.
