Laguna Summit is a highway pass through the Cuyamaca Mountains of southeastern San Diego County, California, traversed by Interstate 8 at an altitude of 4,055 feet (1,236 m).

Of the four 4,000 feet (1,200 m) highway summits eastward of San Diego, the Laguna Summit is the second. The first highway summit has been unnamed until "Carpenter Summit" was proposed in late 2019, now pending the United States Geological Survey approval. The third is Crestwood Summit followed by the Tecate Divide.[1]

Laguna Summit is located east of Pine Valley, just to the east of the intersection with the Sunrise Highway, which heads north towards the Laguna Mountains.[2] The pass is also traversed by Old Highway 80 at the junction of County Route S1, also known as the "Sunrise Highway" then continuing as a frontage road of Interstate 8 on the south side of the freeway.[3]
