The Passo del Turchino is a mountain pass located between the cities of Masone and Mele in the Italian region Liguria.

On 19 May 1944, fifty-nine civilians were murdered by Germans in a mass execution nearby.

[2] The easiest road up the Turchino starts in Ovada, and only has sections of higher than 4% at the very end of the climb.

The Passo del Turchino has also been used in the Giro d'Italia, most recently in 2009, when Stefano Garzelli led the peloton over its summit.
