Boulder Bank Lighthouse is a decommissioned 19th century lighthouse located near the Port Nelson end of the Boulder Bank and was New Zealand's second permanent lighthouse.
The octagonal cast-iron tower was manufactured in sections by Stothert & Pitt an engineering firm from Bath, England in 1859 at a cost of £2,824 (equivalent to £255,109 as of 2015). It was then shipped to New Zealand on board the Glenshee, and was erected in 1862.
It is registered with Heritage New Zealand as a category I structure with registration number 41.
