Marstein Lighthouse (Norwegian: Marstein fyrstasjon) is an active lighthouse in Austevoll Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located on the small island of Store Marstein just west of the island of Storakalsøy on the south side of the entrance to the Krossfjorden and therefore assists ships going to both the city of Bergen and to the Hardangerfjorden.
