Triebener Tauern Pass (el. 1274 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Austrian Alps in the Bundesland of Styria.
It crosses the Niedere Tauern and connects the Mur River valley near Judenburg with the Palten River valley near Trieben.
The north side of the pass has a maximum grade of 18 percent. Because of this steep grade, major construction on the pass road began in 2006, and is planned to be completed in 2009.
