Garðskagaviti (1897), or the Old Garðskagi Lighthouse, is an inactive lighthouse in Iceland. It is located in the town of Garður at the northwestern tip of the Reykjanes peninsula. Built in 1897, Old Garðskagaviti is one of the oldest lighthouses in Iceland. It was deactivated in 1944 due to its replacement by the New Garðskagi Lighthouse, found nearby. Both are protected as part of UNESCO's Reykjanes Global Geopark, and the Old Lighthouse now serves as a bird observation tower.
