Moholmen Lighthouse (Norwegian: Moholmen fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located in the municipality of Vågan in Nordland county, Norway. The lighthouse is located on a small island in the Vestfjorden about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southwest of Kabelvåg and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) straight west of Skrova Lighthouse.
Moholmen Lighthouse was originally built in 1914. The original tower was moved to Tranøy, Hamarøy in 1936. A new tower was built at Moholmen, and that tower was automated in 1974. The current tower is 13.3 metres (44 ft) tall, and at the top there is a white, red or green light (depending on direction), occulting twice every 8 seconds. The white tower is cast iron and built in a square pyramidal shape.
This is the original tower that was moved from Moholmen to Tranøy, Hamarøy
