The '''Dukla Pass''' ({{langx|sk|Dukliansky priesmyk}}, {{langx|pl|Przełęcz Dukielska}}, {{langx|hu|Duklai-hágó}}, {{langx|cs|Dukelský průsmyk}}; {{cvt|502|m}} [[AMSL]]) is a strategically significant mountain pass in the [[Laborec Highlands]] of the [[Outer Eastern Carpathians]], on the border between [[Poland]] and [[Slovakia]] ([[Lemkivshchyna]]) and close to the western border of [[Ukraine]].

The Dukla Pass is the lowest [[mountain pass]] in the [[Carpathian Mountains]] main range. Located south of [[Dukla]] in Poland and northeast of [[Prešov]] in Slovakia, the pass is acknowledged as an area where Eastern and Western [[Slavic peoples|Slavic]] cultures meet.

In the 17th century, it was the haunt of a bandit and folk hero, [[Andrij Savka]].
The Dukla Pass was the scene of bitterly contested battles on the eastern fronts of both [[Eastern Front (World War I)|World War I]] and [[Eastern Front (World War II)|World War II]] ([[Battle of the Dukla Pass]]).
