Sklinna Lighthouse (Norwegian: Sklinna fyr) is a lighthouse in the municipality of Leka in Trøndelag county, Norway. Sklinna Lighthouse is located on the island of Heimøya in the Sklinna island group about 30 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of the island of Leka and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of the island of Ytter-Vikna in Vikna municipality.
