The Julier Pass (Romansh: Pass dal Güglia, German: Julierpass) (el. 2284 m) is a mountain pass in Switzerland, in the Albula Range of the Alps. It connects the Engadin valley with the rest of Graubünden. At its summit, the pass crosses the watershed / drainage divide between the basins of the Rivers Rhine and Danube.

Constructed in the 1820s to replace the old Septimer Pass, the road is well built and easily passable for normal cars and trucks; but winter use requires winter tyres, and in bad weather also snow chains.
