The Kamperbinnenpoort is a still-existing city gate in the Dutch city of Amersfoort. The land gate is located on the north side of the city center between Langestraat and Kamp and is part of the first city wall of Amersfoort. It is one of the last remains of this first city wall, the structure of which can still be largely seen in the Muurhuizen, to which the gate was built attached.

The Kamperbinnenpoort was a simple, rectangular gate in the first city wall, dating from the second half of the 13th century. Its original name was Viepoort or Martenspoort.

Outside the moat was an entrance gate with two narrow, octagonal towers and an arch between them. This was connected to the main gate by a bridge. The gate's name refers to the "Vie" (cattle) that was brought out of the city walls from urban farms through this gate. There were meadows belonging to the Sint Maartensabdij (St. Martin's Abbey) in Utrecht.

With the construction of the second city wall and the Kamperbuitenpoort in the early 15th century, the Viepoort lost its defensive function. In the first half of the 16th century, the main gate was largely demolished, leaving only the front gate standing. The arch between the towers was demolished in 1827 but rebuilt between 1931 and 1933.

The Kamperbinnenpoort (Kampen Binnenpoort) is one of the last remnants of the first city wall, the structure of which is still largely visible in the Muurhuizen (Wall Houses) to which the gate was built.
The name Kamperbinnenpoort (Kampen Binnenpoort) is derived from the Kamp (meadow), the name of the area between the first and second city walls on the north side of the city center. After the construction of the Kamperbuitenpoort (Kampen Buitenpoort), which was built into the second city wall, the gate received its current name. The gate was built in the second half of the 13th century. vvvamersfoort.nl/nl/locaties/1590/kamperbinnenpoort
