A suicide door is a type of automobile door that is hinged at the rear rather than at the front like conventional doors. This design allows the door to open in the opposite direction from standard doors. In other words, the rear edge of the door is attached to the car's body, while the front edge swings outward, often toward the rear of the vehicle.

The name "suicide door" comes from the fact that this design could be hazardous to passengers if they were to accidentally open the door while the vehicle is in motion. This design was more common in older cars, modern car designs prioritize passenger safety, and suicide doors are generally considered less safe in the event of an accident or collision.
