氣候研究小組電郵爭議（英語：Climatic Research Unit email controversy），俗稱氣候門（Climategate）[2][3]，是指2009年11月發生在英國的隸屬東安格里亞大學（University of East Anglia，簡稱UEA）的氣候研究小組（CRU：Climate Research Unit）被黑客入侵、與圍繞溫室效應研究相關的一系列電子郵件和檔案被公開的事件[4][5][6]。事件發生在於丹麥首都哥本哈根舉行的2009年聯合國氣候變化大會之前數個星期，入侵者從CRU的伺服器裡抄走數以千計的電郵副本及電腦檔案，並且透過網際網路分發到世界多個地方儲藏。

事件最初由對氣候變化懷疑論者從眾多電郵及檔案裡精挑細選出來[7]，刊登在他們的網誌上[8]，加上專欄作家James Delingpole的推波助瀾，把爭議事件稱之為「氣候門」[9]事件，使事情如滾雪球般壯大[7]。他們認為有關全球變暖的事件，其實背後有陰謀論在背後操控。
2009年11月，某黑客入侵CRU的伺服器，將存儲在上面的個人檔案以及發現的電子郵件發布於網絡上[4]（亦有人認為並非黑客所為，而是內部告發[10]）。1996年以後的1000封以上的電子郵件以及3000份以上的內部文件被盜取。有關部門於是對此進行調查。對溫室效應持有反對意見的團體認為，那些電子郵件通信是為了將氣候變遷歸咎於人類活動，而對數據進行篡改的密謀。他們將此事件作為科學史上的一大醜聞進行宣傳，並模仿水門事件（Watergate）將此事件命名為「氣候門（Climategate）」。
