This article is about the pass in the Rocky Mountains; Lolo Pass is also the name of a mountain pass west of Mount Hood, Oregon.

Lolo Pass (elevation 5233 ft/1595 m) is a mountain pass in the northern Rocky Mountains located on the border between the U.S. states of Montana and Idaho approximately 25 mi (40 km) WSW of Missoula. It is famous as the location where the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the summit of the Bitteroot Range via the Lolo Trail on the outward and return journeys in 1804 and 1806.

U.S. Highway 12 currently crosses the pass.
