Kohat Pass (Template:Langx) is a mountain pass in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, between the cities of Kohat and Peshawar. The pass varies from Script error: No such module "convert". to Script error: No such module "convert". in width, and its summit is some Script error: No such module "convert". above the plain.[1] The pass traverses the Khigana Mountains, which stretch from the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas towards Attock.

British authorities in Peshawar commenced construction of the Kohat Pass road in 1849,[2] and completed it by 1850 despite violent opposition from local tribes.[2] The pass was closed temporarily in 1853 after a quarrel arose among nearby tribes.[2] The road which connected Kohat to Rawalpindi via Khushalgarh was of little trouble compared to the Kohat Pass road.[2]

Travel times across the pass were dramatically reduced with the opening of the Kohat Tunnel in 2003.[3]
