Ulla lighthouse is a lighthouse near Ulla, a fishing community on the north end of the island of Haramsøya in the municipality of Haram in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

In October 1944, the lighthouse and the surrounding buildings were attacked by allied airplanes. The lighthouse was badly destroyed, and not rebuilt until after the war in 1950.

The lighthouse is still in operation, and is protected by the Norwegian government as an historical landmark. The Norwegian Coastal Administration owns the surrounding buildings, and the old station is available for hire.[1]
