Bab Sidi Abdallah Cherif (Arabic: باب سيدي عبد الله الشريف) is one of the gates of the medina of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. It was situated at the south-western extremity of the kasbah, but has been destroyed.

It is also called Bab El Ghedar (Arabic: باب الغدر) which means "Gate of the treason".

Etymology

This gate takes its name from a saint, Sidi Abdallah Cherif, whose tomb is nearby, outside the medina of Tunis's rampart.
