Whitefriars Gate is a medieval gatehouse located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, forming part of the defensive circuit of the former Carmelite friary precinct. Dating to the fourteenth century, the structure represents a significant example of late medieval institutional architecture and demonstrates the substantial building programme undertaken by the wealthy mendicant order. The gate survives as a brick and stone construction and retains features characteristic of its period, including a substantial archway designed to control access to the friary grounds. As one of the few remaining structures associated with Lincoln's Carmelite house, Whitefriars Gate provides important evidence for the urban presence and architectural ambitions of the Carmelite order in medieval England.
