Slip Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse at Clallam Bay on the coast of Washington state in the north-west of the United States.

The intended light tower was finally added to the fog signal building in 1906, and a fourth-order clamshell Fresnel lens replaced the lens lantern. The upgraded beacon could now be seen from the Canadian side of the strait.

The Slip Point Lighthouse was replaced in 1951 by a beacon and fog signal on a fifty-foot white tower. The original fog signal building and attached tower were subsequently dismantled. The station was fully automated in 1977.
