The Kamperbinnenpoort is a still existing city gate in the Dutch city of Amersfoort. The Landpoort is located on the north side of the city center between the 'Langestraat' and the 'Kamp' and is part of the first city wall of Amersfoort. It is one of the last remnants of this first city wall, the structure of which can still largely be seen in the Wall Houses, to which the gate is attached.

The Kamperbinnenpoort was a simple, rectangular gate in the first city wall from the second half of the 13th century. The 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 were brought out of the walls from urban farms through this gate. There were meadows that belonged to Sint Maartensabdij in Utrecht.

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

The Kamperbinnenpoort is one of the last remnants of the first city wall, the structure of which can still largely be seen in the Muurhuizen, to which the gate is attached.

The name Kamperbinnenpoort 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, which was built in the second city wall, the gate got its present name. The gate was built in the second half of the 13th century. vvvamersfoort.nl/nl/locaties/1590/kamperbinnenpoort
