The Land Gate is a defensive fortification located in Rye, East Sussex, dating from the late fifteenth century. It forms part of the town's medieval defensive circuit and was constructed to protect the landward approach to this important medieval port settlement. The structure is built in brick and stone, characteristic of late medieval military architecture in Southeast England, and retains substantial portions of its original fabric including a vaulted passage. The gate represents a significant example of fifteenth-century urban fortification design and remains one of the most prominent architectural features within Rye's historic town centre.
