Alnes Lighthouse (Norwegian: Alnes fyrstasjon) was established in 1852 to guide fishing boats safely to the harbor of the small fishing community of Alnes on the north side of the island of Godøya in Giske Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The lighthouse sits about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northwest of Leitebakk.
