Khooni Darwaza Bahadur Shah Zafar marg par Delhi Gate ke nikat sthit hai. Muslim Suri samrajya ke sansthapak Sher Shah Suri dwara banwaye gaye Ferozabad ke liye iss dwar ko banwaya gaya tha.  Yah 15.5 meter uncha darwaza Delhi ke quartzite paththar ka ba hai. Iss darwaze mein teen star han jinpar isme sthit seedhiyon ke madhyam se pahuncha ja sakta hai.

"Khooni Darwaza" jise "Laal Darwaza" bhi kahte hai, bhooton ka thikana maana jaata hai. Yahan par British General William Hudsan ne Mughal vansh ke antim shashak Bahadur Shah Zafar ke beton Mirza Mughal, Mirza Khizr Sultan aur pote Mirza Abu Bakr ko nanga karke unki goli markar hatya kar di thi.



Aisa mana jata" hai ki Akbar ke bete Jahangir ne Akbar ke navratnon mein se ek, Abdul Rahim Khankhana ke beton ko iss gate par marwa diya tha aur unke sareer ko sadne ke liye latka diya tha kyunki Abdul Rahim ne Jahangir ke khilaaf bagawat ki thi.
