Poplar Point Light (Lighthouse), built in 1831, is an historic lighthouse in North Kingstown, Rhode Island .

The lighthouse was built in 1831 with a stone keeper's dwelling and wooden town. The light was deactivated in 1882 and replaced by the Wickford Harbor Lighthouse. It was sold at auction in 1894 and has been altered by later owners. The lighthouse is now listed on the National Historic Register.
