Mig La (also known as Mig Pass) is a high-altitude mountain pass located in the Changthang Plateau of Ladakh, India. The pass is notable for being the location of the world's highest motorable road, constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). Mig La is situated in the Leh district near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.

The completion of the road over Mig La Pass has significant strategic and socio-economic importance for India. It enhances connectivity for the Indian Armed Forces in the eastern Ladakh sector and provides year-round access to remote border villages.
