Straitsmouth Island Light is a historic lighthouse on Straitsmouth Island in Rockport, Massachusetts.

The lighthouse is located on the small Straitsmouth Island, owned for many years by famous naval architect William Francis Gibbs and his wife, New York socialite and Opera supporter, Vera Cravath Gibbs.

The island, lighthouse included, was left to the Audobon Society following Mr Gibbs' death.
