Block Island Norh Light (Lighthouse), built in 1884, is a historic lighthouse on Block Island, Rhode Island (New Shoreham).

The first light on the site was built in 1829. The current structure at Sandy Point is the fourth lighthouse built on the site and made of granite and iron. The light was deactivated in 1973 and United States Fish and Wildlife Service acquired the lighthouse. It became dilapidated and was sold to New Shoreham in 1984, and relighted in 1989. A wind generator and solar panels provide much of the power for the building. The lighthouse is now listed on the National Historic Register.
