Lange Jaap, also known as Kijkduin Light or Den Helder Light, is an active lighthouse near Fort Kijkduin in Huisduinen, Netherlands. At a height of 63.5 metres it is one of the tallest "traditional lighthouses" in the world. For almost a century, from 1878 to 1974, it was the tallest lighthouse in the Netherlands, until the construction of the Maasvlakte Light. According to The Lighthouse Directory it is the tallest non-skeletal cast-iron lighthouse in the world.
The site used to be open and accessible to visitors. Due to safety concerns, the tower itself has been closed to the public since 1998. Since September 2021, an area with a radius of 70 meters around the lighthouse has been fenced off due to concerns that the tower may topple over.
