    Phare de Saint-Mathieu is the name of a lighthouse in the village of Saint-Mathieu on the Saint-Mathieu Point in Plougonvelin in the Finistère department. It was built on the site of the former Saint-Mathieu Abbey. Its theoretical range is 29 nautical miles, which is approximately 55 kilometers.

    Together with the Kermorvan lighthouse, it indicates the Passage du Four (Chenal du Four), an important north-south passage from or to the Iroise Sea, which runs between the mainland and the island of Ouessant, thus saving about two days of travel time. In conjunction with the Portzic lighthouse, it illuminates the entrance to the Bay of Brest.

    The lighthouse has been listed as a French Historic Monument since May 23, 2011. It is open to the public. Just west of the lighthouse is the Sémaphore de la Pointe Saint-Mathieu.
