Maatsuyker Island lighthouse is the southernmost of Australia's lighthouses. The station was opened On 1 June 1891 by the Hobart Master Warden, Captain T.M. Fisher.

The original light source was a six ring oil burning lamp which was replaced in 1921 by vapourised kerosene. Maatsuyker Island was one of the last kerosene lighthouses in Australia. Today, the light is a modern 120 volt tungsten halogen lamp which is powered, due to the remote location, by diesel alternators. Originally installed optics, a Chance Bros. first order lens, are still in use today and provide a nominal range of twenty six nautical miles.

The tower and associated outbuildings were designed to withstand the wild weather conditions of the 'Roaring Forties'.

Maatsuyker Island lighthouse, together with its cottages, are on the Register of the National Estate.
