Redington Pass (el. 1310 m./4300 ft.) is a high mountain pass between the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Rincons in Pima County, Arizona. It is located just east of Tucson. Historically, it was the connection between the farming areas of Redington along the San Pedro River on the east side of the pass and Tucson on the west side.

The road through Redington Pass is unpaved and the area throughout the pass is a favorite of mountain bikers and all-terrain vehicle riders. The area is also frequented by shooting enthusiasts, as the region contains three official shooting range areas. The west side of the pass near Tanque Verde Falls affords beautiful views overlooking the east side of the city of Tucson, spread out across the Sonoran Desert floor below.
