The Gumti Darwaza or Gumti Gate (Bengali: গুমটি দরওয়াজা) is a historical monument located in the city of Gour, Malda, West Bengal, India, serving as the eastern gateway to the citadel of Gaur-Lakhnauti, the capital of the Bengal Sultanate. Assumed to be built in 1512 by Alauddin Hussain Shah, it is a fine example of Sultanate architecture, distinct from Mughal structures like the nearby Lukochuri Darwaza. The gate is now a protected monument under Archaeology Survey of India.
