Pemberton Pass, 505 m (1,657 ft), also formerly known as Mosquito Pass, is the lowest point on the divide between the Lillooet and Fraser River drainages, located at Birken, British Columbia, Canada, in the principal valley connecting and between Pemberton and Lillooet.

This pass was historically important in the founding of British Columbia during the Fraser River Gold Rush when it was a key link in what was known as the Lakes Route or Douglas Road.

The wagon road constructed in those times continued in use locally despite the route's general abandonment and isolation after the building of the Cariboo Road farther to the east via the Fraser Canyon, and its road grade remains essentially the same today as the route of the unnumbered route from Mount Currie, on BC Highway 99 to D'Arcy/Nequatque, at the head of Anderson Lake.

Also using the valley is the route of the railway, originally constructed as the Pacific Great Eastern but today part of the Canadian National Railway conglomerate.
