Ascensor / Elevador da Glória ("Glória Funicular" or "Glória Lift") is one of the funicular railway lines operated by Carris in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It is operational since 1885 and connects Praça dos Restauradores ("Restauradores Square") to Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara ("Saint Peter of Alcântara viewpoint"), up in the hill, in the Bairro Alto area.

Despite the fact that this transport system is a undoubtedly a relevant touristic attraction in Portugal's capital, long lines and its price (3.80€) can be disencouraging factors as a ride in Ascensor da Glória only takes 5 minutes.
