Delaware Breakwater Range Front Light was a lighthouse on the Delaware Breakwater in Delaware Bay. Built in 1838 as the Delaware Breakwater West End Lighthouse, it later became the front light of the Delaware Breakwater Range in 1881, helping guide navigation through the breakwater area by defining a navigational alignment. It served in that role until its deactivation in 1903. The house associated with the light stood unoccupied for some years after the light went out of service, but it was ultimately destroyed in 1950.
