The Tragheim Gate (German: Tragheimer Tor) was located in Königsberg (Prussia) in the Tragheim district. The Tragheim Gate stood on Melnichny Lane, which ran along the Valgasse and led to Palvehof and Maraunenhof. These gates were small and did not have any special significance. They were built from basalt columns.

Currently, Victory Square is located on the site of the Tragheim Gate.

In 1785, the gate is mentioned in connection with the "Tragheimsche Gemeindehaus," where, in front of the gate, there was also a dairy products store.

In 1820, various industrial facilities were located in the immediate vicinity of the gate, one of which was a bark mill and another a fodder mill. The city of Königsberg suffered greatly during the development and expansion of its rather limited urban space, due to the fact that by 1900 the situation with urban expansion was supposed to be eased by the reconstruction of the area near the gate. For this reason, the Tragheim Gate was demolished in 1910.
