Cape Banks Lighthouse is a lighthouse in the Australian state of South Australia located in the state’s south-east on the headland of Cape Banks in the gazetted locality of Carpenter Rocks about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) north-west of the locality’s town centre.

The siting of a lighthouse at Cape Banks was discussed as early as 1880 in conjunction with the rebuilding of the Cape Northumberland Lighthouse because it was suggested as a suitable site for the “optical apparatus” from the above-mentioned lighthouse to be reused and because it was a location “where so many shipping casualties have occurred.”
