{{Nihongo|Hesaki Lighthouse|部埼灯台|hesaki tōdai}} is a lighthouse on the Kiku Peninsula in Moji-ku, Kitakyūshū in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It was constructed in December 1870; the lighthouse was lit on 22 January 1871. It was one of the lighthouses designed by Richard Henry Brunton, who was hired by the government of Japan to help construct lighthouses to make coastal waters safe for foreign ships to approach, after Japan opened up to the West.{{Cite book |last=Maloney |first=Iain |title=The Japan lights |publisher=Tippermuir Books Ltd, Perth, Scotland |year=2023 |isbn=9781913836320 |pages=180}}
