7,251 feet (2,210 m)) is a mountain pass on the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains in the northwestern United States joining Lemhi County, Idaho, and Beaverhead County, Montana.

The pass is in the Bitterroot Mountains and is traversed by Montana Highway 43; it is named after Chief Joseph of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce tribe, who traversed the pass in the summer of 1877 during the Nez Perce War, prior to the Battle of the Big Hole to the east.

East of Chief Joseph Pass, Highway 43 descends to the town of Wisdom, 26 miles (42 km) east, passing the historic Big Hole National Battlefield.
