Seguin Light is a lighthouse on Seguin Island, in the Gulf of Maine south of the mouth of the Kennebec River, Maine. Established in 1795, it is the second-oldest of Maine's coastal lighthouses, and the only lighthouse in the state housing a first-order Fresnel lens.

I visited this light on July 16 2022.
The lighthouse is owned by Friends of Seguin Island. Grounds open, tower/dwelling open from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
This lighthouse is best seen by visiting the island by boat, although a very distant view is possible from Popham Beach.
There are various public cruises that pass the lighthouse. I used the cruise by Maine Maritime Museum out of Bath
