The Old Lower Lighthouse is a disused 19th-century lighthouse on the Isle of Portland, close to the currently functioning Portland Bill Lighthouse (SY6768 : Portland Bill Lighthouse). Trinity House had built new high and low lighthouses in 1869. Both lighthouses were superseded by the current lighthouse in 1906.

The Old Lower Lighthouse is a Grade II listed building (List Entry Number: 1280466 LinkExternal link Heritage Gateway). Since 1961 it has been the home of the Portland Bird Observatory.
