This is a list of lighthouses in Israel, both active and inactive. The total length of the Israeli coastline is 273 kilometres (170 mi).[1] Active lighthouses in Israel are maintained by the Israeli Shipping and Ports Authority (S&PA) (formerly the Shipping and Ports Administration), a statutory Authority within the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety.[2]
The lighthouses of Israel are listed in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency List of Lights publication 113[3] for the Mediterranean Sea and 112[4] for the Gulf of Aqaba. They are listed by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office on volume E of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals.[5] They are also listed on The Lighthouse Directory[6] and on the ARLHS World List of Lights[7]
An ancient lighthouse was present on Mount Carmel in roman times.[8]
