Shinagawa Lighthouse was a lighthouse in Shinagawa (品川第二砲台), south of Tokyo, Japan.

The lighthouse was the third of the 4 lighthouses built by French engineer Léonce Verny. It has now been relocated at the Meiji Mura near Nagoya.[1]

Later lighthouses would be built by the English engineer Richard Henry Brunton, until the Japanese would take over lighthouse construction from 1880[2]
