Archer Point Light is an active lighthouse located on Archer Point, a conical, , grassy headland, about southeast of Cooktown, Queensland, Australia. Originally an 1883 timber frame lighthouse, covered with galvanised iron, it was replaced in 1975 with a modern square concrete equipment room, topped with a lantern. ==History==
The station was established in 1883. The original lighthouse was a timber frame lighthouse, covered in rolled galvanised iron sheeting, much like Low Isles Light, and Flat Top Island Light. It had four floors, including the gallery floor, with ladders leading from one floor to the next. Together with a lighthouse on Rocky Island, now disused, the original light served as a lead light between Hope Islands and the mainland to the south, and between some reefs and the mainland to the north. In 1975 the current lighthouse was built, and was automated and electrically operated to begin with. The base of the old lighthouse still exists at the location. The original lenses are now on display at the Queensland Maritime Museum.
