Concord Point Light is a 36-foot (11 m) lighthouse in Havre de Grace, Maryland. It overlooks the point where Susquehanna River flows into the Chesapeake Bay, an area of increasing navigational traffic when it was constructed in 1827.[2][3] It is the northernmost lighthouse and the second-oldest tower lighthouse still standing on the bay.

Concord Point Light is currently listed as a private aid to navigation.[4]
