The Dukla Pass (Slovak: Dukliansky priesmyk, Polish: Przełęcz Dukielska; 502 m AMSL) is a strategically significant mountain pass in the Carpathian mountains on the border between Poland and Slovakia, and close to the western border of Ukraine. It is the lowest mountain pass in the Carpathian mountains main range. Located south of Dukla in Poland and northeast of Prešov in Slovakia, the Dukla pass is acknowledged as an area where Eastern and Western Slavic cultures meet.

Dukla Pass was the scene of bitterly contested battles on the Eastern Fronts of both the World War I and World War II.
