Gateway is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Oregon, United States.

[2] Gateway was named for a depression in the terrain north of Madras formed by the erosion of Trout Creek and its tributaries, which created a natural gateway for north–south railroad and vehicular traffic through Central Oregon.

[3] The post office, which was established about three miles from present-day Gateway, was originally called Youngs after local resident Louis A.

The station on the Oregon Trunk Railway in Gateway was also known as Galloway (not to be confused with the post office of the same name in Morrow County).
