We propose to operate a locally-gated charge density wave as an electron pump. Applying an oscillating gate potential with frequency $f$ causes equally spaced plateaux in the sliding charge density wave current separated by $\Delta I=2eNf,$ where $N$ is the number of parallel chains. The effects of thermal noise are investigated.
