Shinagawa Lighthouse is a lighthouse that was originally located in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

The lighthouse is the third of four lighthouses built by French engineer Léonce Verny, and was operated in Shinagawa until 1957. Following the end of its role in Shinagawa, it was relocated to Meiji Mura, an open-air museum in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, where it remains to this day.[https://books.google.com/books?id=eLI2jBSjL78C&pg=PA240 Global Change: Mankind-marine Environment Interactions Hubert-Jean Ceccaldi p.240]

Later lighthouses would be built by the English engineer Richard Henry Brunton, until the Japanese would take over lighthouse construction in 1880.[https://books.google.com/books?id=p2QnPijAEmEC&pg=PA593 "The English engineer Richard Henry Brunton continued Verny's work; starting in 1880, lighthouses were designed by Japanese architects" in Japan encyclopedia Louis Frédéric p.593]

The lighthouse was first lit on 5 March 1870.{{cn|date=January 2024}}
