The Farol da Gibalta, also known as the Gibalta Lighthouse, is a historic maritime structure located on the Gibalta coast, near Caxias, in the municipality of Oeiras, just outside Lisbon. It is part of the Barra do Sul Range signaling system, which guides the entrance to the Port of Lisbon.

The original lighthouse was built in 1914, but was destroyed by a landslide in 1952. The current tower was inaugurated in 1954, about 30 meters from the original site.
