Kyrenia Gate is one of the three gates in the Venetian walls that ring the old city of Nicosia (Lefkoşa). It stands on the northern side, where the road to Kyrenia leaves the old town.

The Venetians built it in the 16th century, and the Ottomans later remodelled it. Today it stands on its own, with traffic passing either side, at the top of Girne Caddesi, the street that leads into the old town.
