Dovercourt is a small seaside town in Essex, England. It is older than its smaller but better-known neighbour, the port of Harwich, and appears in the Domesday Book of 1086.

In 1863 Trinity House erected two cast iron lighthouses on the beach. They were used until 1917 to guide ships around Landguard Point; the two lights, the high light and the low light aligned were 'leading lights', indicating the right course. The lighthouses were restored in the 1980s, and are sometimes known as Dovercourt Range Lights.
