Scotts Head Lighthouse is a small lighted navigational aid[1] in Scott's Head, Dominica.[2] It is a cylindrical metal post approximately 5 meters (16.4 ft) tall,[2] with the lamp at the top of the post. It emits a quick-flashing white (Q.W.) light.[1][2]

It is located at the top of the Scotts Head peninsula (or Cachacrou peninsula),[3] in southwestern Dominica. The peninsula is considered a tied island, due to its being connected to the mainland by a tombolo.
