Conimicut Light, built in 1883, is a historic sparkplug lighthouse in Warwick, Rhode Island. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The lighthouse is said to be in "relatively good condition."{{cite news|last1=Polichetti|first1=Barbara|title=Plan to turn Conimicut Point Lighthouse into B&B put on hold|url=http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20140602-plan-to-turn-conimicut-point-lighthouse-into-bb-put-on-hold.ece|accessdate=2 June 2014|work=Providence Journal|date=2 June 2014|pages=A7|quote=It [the Conimicut light] is still in relatively good condition.}}

The lighthouse was built in 1883 using pneumatic caisson engineering. The light replaced an earlier 1868 light. Conimicut Lighthouse was automated in the 1960s and was one of the last acetylene gas powered lights to switch to electricity. The City of Warwick acquired the light in 2004. Initially the city planned to restore the lighthouse, but a federal grant for this purpose failed to come through. Subsequently, the city is considering various plans, including leasing it to a tourism company to be converted into a bed-and-breakfast inn.{{cite news|last1=Polichetti|first1=Barbara|title=Plan to turn Conimicut Point Lighthouse into B&B put on hold|url=http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20140602-plan-to-turn-conimicut-point-lighthouse-into-bb-put-on-hold.ece|accessdate=2 June 2014|work=Providence Journal|date=2 June 2014|pages=A7|quote=A proposal to lease the Conimicut Point Lighthouse to a private company that would restore it and open it as an inn has been put on hold.}}
