In a gate valve having a rectangular gate, generation of flection at opposite end portions due to bending moment applied to the gate is suppressed easily. For this purpose, in the gate valve in which a central portion of a longer side of the rectangular gate is mounted to a tip end of a shaft operated by driving of a cylinder device and the gate is pressed against a valve seat provided around a rectangular valve opening by tilting the shaft after the gate is moved to a position facing the valve opening by movement of the shaft by driving of the cylinder device, the gate is formed to have an uneven wall thickness including a large thickness in a vicinity of a fulcrum portion connected to the shaft and a small thickness on each of opposite end portion sides.
