Sula Lighthouse (Norwegian: Sula fyr) is a coastal lighthouse in Frøya Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The lighthouse is located on the island of Sula. The lighthouse was originally built here in 1793 and another in 1804. The current tower was built in 1909. It is part of a series of lighthouses along the Froan islands in Frøya including the Finnvær Lighthouse, Vingleia Lighthouse, and Halten Lighthouse. It is lit from July 21 until May 16 each year. It is not lit during the summer due to the midnight sun of the region.
