The fyr Ulla is a beacon on the west coast of Norway in Fylke Møre og Romsdal . The beacon is located on the Kvernholmen archipelago near Haramsøya and belongs to Ålesund Municipality .

The low, square lighthouse made of concrete also includes a house and a farm building, as well as two boat houses and a mooring. These expansions became necessary after the lighthouse had to be in operation and therefore manned all year round from 1889/90. Ulla fyr has been powered by electricity since 1929. The beacon station, damaged by a bombing in 1944, was rebuilt in 1950.

Originally, Ulla fyr was a small fishing fire. The lens apparatus was later replaced by a more powerful PRB headlamp. The old lens apparatus is still preserved and stored in the station.

Ulla fyr is a listed building, the station is located in a bird sanctuary.
