The Mendola Pass, ( _it. Passo della Mendola; German: "Mendelpass"). or just "the Mendola", is a 1362 m high mountain pass between the provinces of Trento and Bolzano-Bozen in Italy. The pass goes between the town of Fondo in the Val di Non and ends southwest of the city of Bolzano.

The pass is open year-round, but trailers are prohibited.

The pass road, SS 42, has a maximum grade of 12%, but is relatively straight.

The pass road was built between 1880 and 1885, and the first hotel at the pass was built in 1890. In 1900, a tram was built from the town of Kaltern an der Weinstraße.

The instability of the cliffs overhanging the road is a cause of concern, and work was undertaken in 2005 to stabilize them. The pass is under constant observation, particularly in the spring, when thawing and refreezing causes danger of slides.
