The Wing's Neck Light is a historic lighthouse in the Pocasset village of Bourne, Massachusetts. It is located on Wing's Neck Road at the end of Wing's Neck, a peninsula between Pocasset Harbor and the Hog Island Channel, which provides access to the Cape Cod Canal. The first lighthouse was built in the site in 1849; it was a stone keeper's house with a wood-frame tower above, and was destroyed by fire in 1878.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=bou.g|title=MACRIS inventory record for Wing's Neck Light|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-05-06}}
The present lighthouse and keeper's house were built in 1889; it is the only extant wood-frame light and keeper's house connected by a covered way from that period.
The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
