{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2018}}{{Use British English|date=January 2018}}Kaleyard Gate is a postern gate in Chester city walls, Cheshire, England ({{gbmapping|SJ406665}}). It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.^[1]

In the 13th century the monks of St Werburgh's Abbey had developed a vegetable garden (known as the kaleyard) outside the city walls. Access to it was by a devious walk through Eastgate and they wanted to have an easier route. They petitioned Edward I in 1275 to allow them to cut a gate through the wall to provide direct access to the garden. This he allowed under certain conditions, one of which was that it must be locked at nightfall.^[2]

The gate consists of a simple opening in the sandstone wall containing a door.
