Undan Island Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the summit of the uninhabited islet of Undan Island, located Script error: No such module "convert". off the coast of mainland Malacca in Malaysia.[1][2]

The lighthouse was engineered and constructed by the Chance Brothers and Company from Birmingham in 1879 and completed in 1880, as a beacon for ships travelling along the Strait of Malacca.[1] It is octagonal and cylindrical in shape, housing the lantern and a gallery and is adjoined to a single storey keeper's house; both structures were constructed of masonry.[1][2][3]

A more recent concrete communications tower, roughly three times the height of the original lighthouse, is cylindrical and stark in design, and situated directly beside the lighthouse.[2]
