Osinovetsky Light (Russian: Осиновецкий маяк) is an active lighthouse in Lake Ladoga, in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. It is located on a headland near the southwest corner of the lake near Kokorevo.[2] The light marks the west side of the entrance to the southernmost bay of the lake, leading to the Neva entrance.

At a height of 230 feet (70 m) it is the eighth tallest "traditional" lighthouse in the world.[3] It is a slightly shorter twin of Storozhenskiy Light.

The lighthouse served as an important landmark in the Road of Life during the Siege of Leningrad (September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944).[4]

The former lightkeeper, Sergey Shulyatev, has had this position from 1987 to 2010, being then the oldest lighthouse keeper in Russia.[5]
