The Splügen Pass (German: Splügenpass; Italian: Passo dello Spluga; Latin: Cunus Aureus[1] ) (el. 2,113 m) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps.

It connects the Hinterrhein valley in the canton of Graubünden with Chiavenna in the Italian province of Sondrio and Lake Como. The pass is the continental divide between the Rhine and Po river watersheds.

Since the construction of the tunnel through San Bernardino, the pass has lost its former importance; it is not kept open in winter.
