Emigrant Pass is a gap in the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon.

[1] It is about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) west of Summit Lake on the border between Klamath and Lane counties.

In October 1853, a party of 1,500 was almost stranded at the pass, but was saved from a Donner Party-style tragedy by nearby settlers who had begun to improve the route up the Middle Fork Willamette River earlier that year as a shortcut between the Oregon Trail near Boise, Idaho, and the Willamette Valley.
