Staller Sattel (Italian: Passo Stalle) (el. 2052 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps on the border between the Tyrol in Austria and Bolzano-Bozen in Italy.

It connects the Defereggen River valley in Tyrol with the Antholz River in Bolzano-Bozen.

The pass is open only from May to October from 5:30 am to 22:00. The Italian side is very narrow, at points only one way, and prohibited for trailers and caravans.

Starting in 2007, a toll of 5 euros is planned for automobiles and motorcycles. The revenue will be split between Italy and Austria.
