Passburg is a ghost town in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in southern Alberta, Canada that was formerly a coal mining community.

In the 1880s, the Passburg area was originally a haven for cattle rustlers and their stolen stock destined for the United States due to availability of grass, multiple water sources, and shelter.

[2] Above ground infrastructure to support mining activity included 101 coke ovens, a wooden washery that was 27 m (89 ft) in height, and a tipple that could process 1,000 to 2,000 tons of coal on a daily basis.

[2] The Great War weakened coal prices and prevented agreements to supply product to the United States, England, and the Balkans.

[2] Relationships became strained with its financing banks and the Canadian Pacific Railway, which was both a customer and transporter of Leitch Collieries' products.
