The Port Sanilac Lighthouse, established in 1886, is a historic octagonal tower located in Port Sanilac, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Huron. Constructed of dressed stone and brick, this operational light stands at a height of 59 feet, serving as an essential aid to navigation with its original Fourth Order Fresnel lens.

Attached to a two-story keeper's quarters, the lighthouse remains an active property managed by the U.S. Coast Guard while the keeper's quarters are privately owned. Renowned for its architectural significance, the Port Sanilac Light Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting its importance within the region's maritime history.
