Col Agnel or Italian: Colle dell'Agnello is a mountain pass in the Cottian Alps, west of Monte Viso between France and Italy.
It links the Queyras valley (Hautes-Alpes) with Pontechianale in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont.
The altitude of the pass is 2744 m. It is the third highest paved road pass of the Alps, after Stelvio Pass and Col de l'Iseran.
It is somewhat unknown and not heavily used, despite being the highest international pass of the Alps. (The Stelvio connects regions of three languages but is no longer an international crossing because of border changes after WW I)
