Aaron Gate (born 26 November 1990) is a New Zealand road and track cyclist,^[4] who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Burgos BH.^[5] He represented his country in track cycling at the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics. Gate is the first New Zealand athlete to win four gold medals at a single Commonwealth Games.^[6]

He won a bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the team pursuit event with teammates Sam Bewley, Marc Ryan, Jesse Sergent and Westley Gough.^[7] On 24 February 2013 in Belarus, Gate won the world championship title in the omnium event. Alongside Pieter Bulling, Regan Gough, and Dylan Kennett, he came fourth in the men's team pursuit at the 2016 Rio Olympics, being beaten by Denmark to the bronze medal.^[8] He was named in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España.^[9] In 2021 he won his first national title winning the New Zealand National Time Trial Championships by 0.7 seconds ahead of George Bennett.^[10]

At the 2020 Summer Olympics, Gate competed in the team pursuit event with teammates Regan Gough, Jordan Kerby and Campbell Stewart. In the bronze medal race against Australia, he crashed after clipping Kerby's rear wheel, fracturing his collarbone. He subsequently withdrew from the rest of the Games, and was replaced by Stewart in the madison and omnium events.^[11]

In 2022, at the age of 31, Gate became a quadruple Commonwealth champion when taking gold in the individual pursuit, team pursuit and points race on the track as well as the road race at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.^{[12][13][14][15][16]}
