[[Thermopylae]] (/θərˈmɒpɪliː/; Ancient Greek and Katharevousa: Θερμοπύλαι (Thermopylai), Demotic Greek (Greek): Θερμοπύλες, (Thermopyles); "hot gates") is a place in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. It derives its name from its hot sulphur springs. The Hot Gates is "the place of hot springs" and in Greek mythology it is the cavernous entrances to Hades.

Thermopylae is world-famous for the battle that took place there between the Greek forces (notably the Spartans, Lachedemonians, Thebans and Thespians) and the invading Persian forces, commemorated by Simonides in the famous epitaph, "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, That here obedient to their laws we lie." Thermopylae is the only land route large enough to bear any significant traffic between Lokris and Thessaly. This passage from north to south along the east coast of the Balkan peninsula requires use of the pass and for this reason Thermopylae has been the site of several battles.

Οι Θερμοπύλες είναι παραθαλάσσιο πέρασμα, στην Ελλάδα. Η περιοχή έχει πάρει το όνομά της από κοντινές πηγές θερμού νερού και από τα στενά και δύσβατα περάσματα από τα οποία μπορούσε να πλησιάσει κανείς την περιοχή, τις πύλες, οι οποίες ήταν η Ανατολική, η Μεσαία και η Δυτική.
