Sugashima Lighthouse (菅島灯台 sugashima tōdai) is a lighthouse on the island of Sugashima, in Toba, Mie, Japan. It is known as one of Brunton's children as it was designed by Richard Henry Brunton and was one of the first modern lighthouses in Japan built as part of the modernization of Japan during the Meiji period.
The former official abode of the lighthouse is registered as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Today, it is on display as an exhibit at Meiji Mura, a historical museum in Inuyama, Aichi. The lighthouse itself is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
