Dalatangi (Icelandic: Dalatangi) is the outermost headland between the Seyðisfjörður and the Mjóifjörður on the east coast of Iceland. There are two lighthouses there. The older one was built in 1895, making it the oldest lighthouse in Iceland. Its construction was initiated by the shipowner Otto Wathne from Seyðisfjörður. The older lighthouse was replaced by a taller one in 1908, fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1985–1987. Since then it has been under the care of the Sjóminjasafn Austurlands Maritime Museum and has been a listed building since 2006. The taller tower has also served as a weather station since 1938 until today. The tower height is 10m, the fire height is 19m.
The Mjóafjarðarvegur (T953) leads directly from the ring road with a distance of 47 kilometres (29 mi) to the headland.
