Wolf Rock Lighthouse is on the Wolf Rock, Cornwall, a single rock located east of St Mary's, Isles of Scilly and southwest of Land's End, in Cornwall, United Kingdom.〔Admiralty Chart 1148: Isles of Scilly to Lands End.〕 The fissures in the rock produce a howling sound in gales, hence the name.

The lighthouse was the first in the world to be fitted with a helipad.
