The Jade Gate or the Pass of the Jade Gate (Chinese: 玉门关 (simplified) or 玉門關 (traditional), Pīnyīn: Yùmén Guān) is the name of a pass located west of Dunhuang in today's China. In ancient times, this was a pass through which the Silk Road passed, and was the one road connecting Central Asia and China.

Not to be confused with the city Yumen (literally Jade Gate) in Gansu, China.
