**Undan Island Lighthouse** is a lighthouse on the summit of the uninhabited [islet](/source/Islet) of [Undan Island](/source/Undan_Island), located 25 kilometres (16 mi) off the coast of mainland [Malacca](/source/Malacca) in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia).[1][2]

The lighthouse was engineered and constructed by the [Chance Brothers and Company](/source/Chance_Brothers_and_Company) from Birmingham in 1879 and completed in 1880, as a beacon for ships travelling along the [Strait of Malacca](/source/Strait_of_Malacca).[1] It is [octagonal](/source/Octagon) and cylindrical in shape, housing the lantern and a gallery and is adjoined to a single storey keeper's house; both structures were constructed of [masonry](/source/Masonry).[1][2][3]

A more recent concrete communications tower, roughly three times the height of the original lighthouse, is cylindrical and stark in design, and situated directly beside the lighthouse.[2]
