Myken Lighthouse (Norwegian: Myken fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Rødøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the small island of Jutøya in the island group, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southwest of the town of Bodø.^[2]^[3]

It was established in 1918 and was automated in 1975. The 30,200-candela light sits on top of a 12.5-metre (41 ft) tall white tower. The occulting light is white, red, or green light depending on direction, occulting once every six seconds. The light can be seen for up to 13.8 nautical miles (25.6 km; 15.9 mi). The light sits at an elevation of 40.3 metres (132 ft) above sea level. The light burns continuously from 1 August until 5 May each year. The light is not on during May through July due to the midnight sun.^[2]^[4]^[1]
