The Ploumanac'h Lighthouse is an active lighthouse in Côtes-d'Armor, France, located in Perros-Guirec. Its official name is the Mean Ruz Lighthouse.
The structure is composed of pink granite, and marks the entrance to the channel leading to the port of Ploumanac'h.

The first Ploumanac'h Lighthouse dates from 1860. This was destroyed by German troops on August 4, 1944, and replaced by the current lighthouse in 1946.
The lighthouse offers a direct view of Château de Costaérès, l'île Renote and Jentilez.

The lighthouse gets its common name from the nearby town of Ploumanac'h, meaning "monk's pool" in Breton. The official name of "Mean Ruz" comes from the Breton cacographic phrase Maen Ruz, meaning "red stone".
