Bremstein Lighthouse ({{langx|no|Bremstein fyr}}) is a coastal lighthouse in Vega Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The lighthouse is located on the island of Geiterøya, about {{convert|22|km}} west of the main island of Vega.
The lighthouse was established in 1925 and it was automated in 1980. The {{convert|27|m|adj=on}} tall red, cast iron tower has a white stripe around it. The light sits at an elevation of {{convert|41.5|m}} above sea level. The 3,370,000-candela light can be seen for about {{convert|14.7|nmi|km mi}}.
There is also a secondary light {{convert|27|m}} up the lighthouse tower. The top light emits three white flashes every 40 seconds and the second light emits a white, red, or green (depending on direction) that is occulting three times every 10 seconds. This lighthouse is somewhat unique in that it has two 2nd order Fresnel lenses, one for each of the two lights.{{cite book|year=2018|url=http://153.44.6.20/fyrlister/Fyrliste_HeleLandet.pdf|format=PDF|author=Kystverket|authorlink=Norwegian Coastal Administration|language=Norwegian|title=Norske Fyrliste|isbn=9788245015959|access-date=2018-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143229/http://153.44.6.20/fyrlister/Fyrliste_HeleLandet.pdf|archive-date=2018-06-12|url-status=dead}}{{Cite rowlett|nornw3|date=2018-09-22|access-date=2018-11-26}}
