The Col de la Schlucht (French pronunciation: [kɔl də la ʃluxt] ^ⓘ; elevation 1,139 m (3,737 ft)) is a mountain pass in the Vosges Mountains of France. On the west side lies the historical region of Lorraine (Lothringen in German),^[2] on the east side lies the historical region of Alsace (Elsass in German).^[3]

The pass takes its name from the German word "Schlucht", meaning "gorge" or "ravine". It connects Munster (Haut-Rhin) with Gérardmer (Vosges) (east–west, via the D417) and is also crossed by the Route des Crêtes (north–south, D61 and D430).
