Cairo Station, also called The Iron Gate (Arabic: باب الحديد Bāb al-Ḥadīd), is a 1958 Egyptian crime-drama film directed by Youssef Chahine, written by Mohamed Abu Youssef and Abdel Hay Adib, and starring Farid Shawqi and Hind Rostom. The plot follows a newspaper salesman's dangerous obsession with a pretty young refreshments seller amidst a serial killer's spree through Cairo.

Since the 1970s, the film has found renewed interest with new generations of international film lovers and has been hailed as a masterpiece in the style of neorealist cinema.
