The Cap d'Antifer Lighthouse (French: Phare d'Antifer) is an active aid to navigation on the headland of the same name which forms part of the French Côte d'Albâtre (Alabaster coast) of the English Channel, in Seine-Maritime, Normandy. Located on the edge of the cliffs within the commune of La Poterie-Cap-d'Antifer, it was built to guide shipping into the Port of Le Havre.

The current lighthouse was commissioned in 1955 and is the second to be built at the site after the original 19th century lighthouse was destroyed during World War II.
