Redington Pass is a mountain pass between the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Rincons in Pima County, Arizona just east of Tucson. Historically, it was the connection between the farming areas of Redington along the San Pedro River on the east side of the pass and Tucson on the west side.

The road through Redington Pass is unpaved and the area throughout the pass is a favorite of mountain bikers and ATV riders. The west side of the pass near Tanque Verde Falls affords beautiful views overlooking the east side of the city of Tucson, spread out across the Sonoran Desert floor below.
