Stepping Stones Lighthouse is a very old Victorian-style lighthouse built on a series of rocky reefs in Long Island Sound, in Nassau County, New York. The lighthouse is square-shaped and made of brick, standing one-and-a-half stories high. The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse is a virtual twin of this structure.

It was originally lit in 1877, and automated in 1967. It remains in use today, under the management of the United States Coast Guard. It is not open to the public.

The reef upon which it sits got its name from ancient Sinawoy (Minnefords) Native American legends. The tribe used warriors and medicine to chase the Devil out of present-day Westchester County, New York onto City Island (Greater Minneford Island), trapping him at Belden Point. The Devil then picked up huge boulders and tossed them into Long Island Sound, using them as stepping stones to escape. The natives gave the rocks the name "the Devil's Stepping Stones" and later it was dropped to just the Stepping Stones.
