Runde Lighthouse (Norwegian: Runde fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located on the island Runde in the municipality of Herøy in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It was first lit in 1767. The lighthouse was automated in 2002; the residential buildings were vacated and have since been used as a self-service tourist station.[2][3]
