The following is a list of lighthouses in four of the major territories of the United States. Most of the lights listed here have been modernized to be automated beacons on small steel towers or posts. There are just two known surviving lighthouses that held keepers, both of which are now inactive. Information for any given lighthouse may also be incomplete due to a lack of records and/or unreliable information.

  • Note: Listed separate are lighthouses in Puerto Rico as more information is available about them.
