The Futa Pass or La Futa Pass (Italian: Passo della Futa) is a pass in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, at an elevation of 903 m (2,963 ft). It is located in the comune of Firenzuola, in the Metropolitan City of Florence. It separates the valleys of Mugello and of the Santerno River.

It is crossed by the Strada statale 65 (strada della Futa) which connects Florence with Bologna. During World War II it was part of the Gothic Line. A German military cemetery was created nearby in the 1950s.
