Porte de Charmont was a historic gate of the city of Besançon, which was part of the fortifications built by Vauban in the 17th century. The gate was demolished in 1894 to make way for the expansion of the city. The gate was located on the north-western side of the city, near the Doubs River. The gate had a semi-circular shape and was decorated with pilasters and a pediment. The gate was one of the many entrances to the city, most of which have now disappeared or been replaced.
