Disclosed are a gate driving circuit and a display device. According to the gate driving circuit, in every five adjacent shift registers, the output control end of the first shift register is electrically connected to the input signal end of the fifth shift register; in every six adjacent shift registers, the output control end of the sixth shift register is electrically connected to the reset signal end of the first shift register. In the gate driving circuit of a cascade structure provided by the present disclosure, there are fewer cascade signal lines, thereby saving space, further implementing the narrow bezel of a display device; in addition, for the gate driving circuit of a cascade structure provided by the present disclosure, the signal provided by an external circuit board can be more flexible, even if a display product is manufactured, the pulse width of a clock signal can be adjusted by means of the external circuit board, thereby adjusting the high-level width of a gate signal output by a gate signal output end, and the flexibility is high.
