Lista över de högsta fyrarna i USA

Höjden på befintliga fyrar uttrycks i två mått: höjden på själva tornet och avståndet från ljuskällans fokalplan (det vill säga mitten) till vattnet. Den senare kan vara mycket större än den förra om ljuset står på en udde .

Flera strukturer som har fungerat som fyrar överstiger höjden för alla poster i denna lista, bland dem Frihetsgudinnan 305 fot (93 m) och Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial på 352 fot (107 m). Dessa är inte listade eftersom de inte byggdes som fyrar i sig .
