Sheringham Point Lighthouse is located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, near the community of Shirley. Built in 1912, it is still used for navigation.

The lighthouse and surrounding property is currently owned by the Canadian Coast Guard and fenced off, though the lighthouse can be seen easily from a trail beside the fence. As of 2005, the [http://www.sheringhamlighthouse.org/ Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society] is working to acquire the property from the Coast Guard and turn it into a public park.
