The Cape Meares Light is an inactive lighthouse on the coast of Oregon. It is located on Cape Meares just south of Tillamook Bay.

The lighthouse was first lit in 1890 and was deactivated in 1963. When it was built, the lighthouse complex included 2 keeper's houses, which was demolished in 1968, 2 oil houses, and 2 cisterns. Later additions included an 1895 workroom attached to the tower and a 1934 garage.

The light was replaced by a newer tower in 1963.

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 as reference number #73002341, and is open to the public.
