Torbjørnskjær fyr is a fully automated coastal lighthouse situated on a skerry in the archipelago municipality of Hvaler, southeast of Norway's capital, Oslo. It marks the east side of the entrance to the Oslofjord, Færder marking the west.

The light is powered by a wind generator on the island. Landing conditions are very difficult, and nowadays service calls are made via helicopter.

The lighthouse and surrounding buildings, which include residences, outhouse, a well, and engine house are proposed protected as a national park.
