The San Francisco Pass is a pass over the Andes Mountains which connects Argentina and Chile. The highest point of this pass is at 4,726 m (15,505 ft) AMSL.

The pass is historically significant as it is through this pass that Diego de Almagro's expedition is generally thought to have used to enter the territory of present-day Chile in early 1536. An alternative view is that the pass used by Almagro's party is that of Pircas Negras.
