The Cabo Espichel is a headland or cape on the Portuguese Atlantic coast, just 40 km west of the city of Setubal and 45 km south of Lisbon, on which a lighthouse ( 1790 built ) and a monastery with the baroque pilgrimage church Nossa Senhora do Cabo and former pilgrim accommodations are located.

The Cape is the southern point of the funnel of the Tagus estuary. The counterpart on the north side is the Cabo da Roca.
