Local nameOksøy fyr
LocationKristiansand, Norway

Oksøy Lighthouse is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Kristiansand in Agder county, Norway. The lighthouse sits on the islet of Oksøy which is located in the Kristiansandsfjorden, just east of the island of Flekkerøya. The lighthouse marks the western side of the main shipping channel that leads inland to the port of the city of Kristiansand. The other lighthouse, which marks the eastern entrance, Grønningen Lighthouse, lies about 2.2 kilometres to the east. The lighthouse has a racon signal, emitting a morse code "O".

The lighthouse was first built in 1832, but it was rebuilt in 1900. The present 36-metre tall cylindrical cast iron tower is white with two red bands painted around it. The light sits at an elevation of 47 metres and it emits two white flashes every 45 seconds.
