Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for proximity boot control using light-based communications are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes maintaining information associated with at least one device, where the maintained information identifies at least one designated location for the at least one device. The method includes obtaining a request from the at least one device to perform a boot process, where the request is transmitted by the at least one device using light emitted by one or more light sources associated with a light-based network. The method also includes identifying a current location of the at least one device based on the request and determining whether to allow the at least one device to perform the boot process based at least in part on the maintained information and the current location.
