'''Lista Lighthouse''' ({{langx|no|Lista fyr}}) is a coastal lighthouse located at the western side of the Lista peninsula, a short distance northwest of the village of Vestbygd in Farsund Municipality in Agder county, Norway. The lighthouse sits on a cape on the edge of the Listafjorden which marks the extreme southwestern edge of the mainland of Norway. The lighthouse had a foghorn that was used from 1877 until 1987. In 1937, the station began emitting a racon signal of the morse code letter "G".<ref name="snl">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Lista fyr |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo |url=http://snl.no/Lista_fyr |editor-last=Henriksen, Petter |language=Norwegian |accessdate=28 September 2011}}</ref>

In 2003, the station was automated and the buildings were turned over to Vest-Agder county. The site is now used as a museum that is open daily during the summer months.
