"Beyond the Gates of Dream" is a collection of short stories by science fiction and fantasy author Lin Carter. It was first published in paperback by Belmont Books in 1969.

The book collects seven stories by Carter, two of them collaborative, together with an introduction and afterward. One oddity in regard to the first edition of the collection is that its back cover blurb references and summarizes three stories of Carter's presumably intended for the collection but which do not actually appear in it, these being identifiable as a time travel story, "The Martian El Dorado of Parker Wintley," and "The Gods Of Niom Parma."
