Punta de las Figuras Light (Spanish: Faro Punta de las Figuras) is an historic lighthouse located in Arroyo Puerto Rico. It was first lit by the Spanish government in 1893. The light was relocated in 1938 and the structure was deactivated and abandoned. During World War II the lighthouse was used as a lookout. After the U.S army abandoned the structure in 1963 the lighthouse was repeatedly vandalized.
