Col de Tende (Italian: Colle di Tenda) (el. 1870 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps, on the border of France and Italy.
It separates the Maritime Alps from the Ligurian Alps. It connects Nice and Tende in Alpes-Maritimes with Cuneo in Piedmont.
A railway tunnel inaugaurated in 1898 and a road tunnel inaugaurated in 1882 run under the pass. The latter tunnel is 3.2 kilometre long and is among the oldest long road tunnels.
