Lions Gate Chorus is an all-female a cappella chorus of Sweet Adelines International. They are based in the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area of British Columbia, Canada. They are the current (2008) 3rd place Bronze medalist chorus of Sweet Adelines.

The name "Lions Gate" refers to the the Lions, a pair of mountain peaks visible to the North of Vancouver. The famous Lions' Gate Bridge crosses the first narrows of Burrard Inlet towards the Lions.

Under the direction of Sandy Robinson Marron, Lions Gate Chorus has, to date, achieved 6 regional gold medals. In 1998, the chorus earned the International Harmony Achievement Award in Nashville, which is given to the highest scoring small chorus at the International contest. In 2003, the chorus traveled to Phoenix and achieved the highest ranking for a western Canadian chorus, 11th Place. In 2005, due to Hurricane Katrina, the Sweet Adelines International Convention and Competition was moved to Detroit with 5 weeks' notice, where Lions Gate Chorus placed 12th. In 2007, the chorus surged in both numbers and singing ability to earn a third place Bronze medal in Calgary.

The chorus' numbers have varied over the years, but steady growth in the late 1990s has continued to this day. The chorus currently stages over 100 singers in most performances.
