El Faro de la Marina es un faro activo que está ubicado sobre el Océano Pacífico, en el distrito de Miraflores, Lima, Perú. Es uno de los faros más famosos y visitados del país.
The lighthouse was originally constructed in 1900 at Punta Coles, a headland near Ilo, but in 1973 it was dismantled and reconstructed in Miraflores. It is situated in the appropriately named Parque del Faro, one of a number of popular parks above the cliffs in the city, which commemorates a century of Peruvian navigation.

It consists of a 22 m (72 ft) high iron tower, with a gallery and lantern, painted a very dark blue, with two white bands.

With a focal height of 108 metres (354 ft) above the sea, its light can be seen for 18 nautical miles (33 km), and consists of a pattern of three flashes of white light, over a period of fifteen seconds.
