West Point Light was a lighthouse at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. It was located at Gee's Point and was sometimes referred to as Gee's Point Light.

West Point Light would be shown on the NOAA Chart 12343[1] if it were still active. Today, Light 39 (USCG 1-38005),[2] on a skeleton tower with a fixed green light characteristic, has replaced West Point Light on Gee's Point.
