The Pointe-Au-Père lighthouse was built in 1908 in the city of Pointe-au-Père, near Rimouski, Quebec, Canada. This city was well known in naval circles as the location of the pilot station for the Bas-Saint-Laurent (lower St. Lawrence) zone.

The lighthouse is 108 feet tall, which makes it the second tallest in eastern Canada. It was replaced by an electronic lighthouse in 1975, and is now open for visitors as part of the Musée de la Mer (museum of the sea).
