嘉峪关城楼,位于甘肃省嘉峪关市西南7公里处，是万里长城西端终点。嘉峪关建于明洪武五年，因城在嘉峪麓故名，自古为军事要地。整个关城建造坚固雄伟，气势磅礴，关城呈梯形，周长733米，面积33500平方米，高10米，垛墙高1.7米，东西城垣开门，城楼对称，三层五间式，周围有廊，城四隅有角楼，南北墙中段有敌楼。两门内北侧有马道达城顶。关城正中有一官井。西面城垣凸出，中间开门，门额刻“嘉峪关”三字。原有城楼，与东西两楼形制相同，三楼东西成一线。俗传当年建关时，匠师计算用料十分精确，竣工后只剩一块砖。此砖今存西瓮城门楼后檐台之上。西门外1里处有石碑，上刻“天下雄关”四字；东瓮城外有文昌阁、关帝庙、戏楼，城内靠北有游击衙门府一座，均为清代所建。
