'''Sula Lighthouse''' ({{langx|no|Sula fyr}}) is a [coastal lighthouse](/source/coastal_lighthouse) in [Frøya Municipality](/source/Fr%C3%B8ya_Municipality) in [Trøndelag](/source/Tr%C3%B8ndelag) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). The [lighthouse](/source/lighthouse) is located on the island of [Sula](/source/Sula%2C_Tr%C3%B8ndelag). The lighthouse was originally built here in 1793 and another in 1804. The current tower was built in 1909. It is part of a series of lighthouses along the [Froan](/source/Froan) islands in Frøya including the [Finnvær Lighthouse](/source/Finnv%C3%A6r_Lighthouse), [Vingleia Lighthouse](/source/Vingleia_Lighthouse), and [Halten Lighthouse](/source/Halten_Lighthouse). It is lit from July 21 until May 16 each year. It is not lit during the summer due to the [midnight sun](/source/midnight_sun) of the region.<ref name="snl">{{Store norske leksikon|Sula_fyr|Sula fyr|2025-01-21|Lauritzen|Per Roger|2024-11-26}}</ref>
