Perkins Island Light is a lighthouse on the Kennebec River in Maine. It was established in 1898, fifteen years after the founding of the Bath Iron Works, a major shipbuilder, seven miles further up the Kennebec River. It was part of a major upgrade of the river's lights — the Doubling Point Light and the separate Range Lights on the point, Perkins Island Light, and Squirrel Point Light were all built at the same time.

Perkins Island Light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Perkins Island Light Station on January 21, 1988, reference number 87002282.^[3]
