The Waterpoort in the Dutch city of Tiel was built in 1647. At the time, Tiel was a fortified city with city walls, canals and gates. A year earlier, the inner harbor had already been filled in, creating Het Plein on which the Waterpoort is located. The gate therefore never served as a gateway to the harbor, but was the outer gate of the then Kleibergse Poort in the city wall. Until 1782 there was a canal with a bridge in front of the gate.

In the last winter of the Second World War, Tiel was badly hit during fighting between the German occupiers who were stationed in the city and the Allies on the liberated other side of the Waal. In November 1944, the Waterpoort was blown up by the Germans to make it more difficult for the Allies to enter the city. The gate was completely rebuilt in 1979. It is now part of the Flipje and Regional Museum Tiel.
