Glaubenbühlen Pass (el. 1611 m.) is a mountain pass in the Swiss Alps between the Entlebuch region and the canton of Obwalden.

It connects Giswil in Obwalden and Flühli in the Entlebuch. It divides the basins of the Kleine Emme and the Sarner Aa, both within the Reuss basin. The pass road has a maximum grade of 12 percent, running along the northern slope of the Giswilerstock (2011 m). It is known as Panoramastrasse, providing a splendid view of Pilatus and the Stanserhorn when travelling towards Giswil, and of the Brienzer Rothorn massif when travelling towards Flühli.
