The Punta Moscarter Lighthouse is an active lighthouse, near Portinatx on the northern coast of the Spanish island of Ibiza.

Work began on the lighthouse in 1975 and it became operational in November 1978. The 52-metre-high (171 ft) concrete tower then became the tallest in the Balearic Islands, superseding the Illa de l'Aire Lighthouse on Menorca which has a masonry tower of 38 m.
