St Marys Pass is a 6 km (3.7 mi) road in Tasmania. which links St Marys to Falmouth. It is known for being a windy road, with rocks and dirt on the side.^{[citation needed]}

St. Marys Pass was built by convict labour between 1843 and 1846.^{[citation needed]} The road was built to connect the Fingal Valley to the East Coast, with around 300 convicts stationed nearby the Grassy Bottom for the project.^{[citation needed]} It serves as a historic, scenic route throughout the mountain.

Today the road serves traffic from the Fingal Valley to the East Coast with gravel roads connecting to the road and gullies.

Before 1991 the Tasman Highway went through St Marys Pass and out of Elephant Pass Road since there was no coastal route between Chain of Lagoons to Falmouth, Tasmania.^{[citation needed]} On 2 December 1991 the bypass for St Marys was opened to traffic, before the road was built, great care was taken during the construction to protect Aboriginal middens.^{[citation needed]}

In 2025 the Tasmanian Government announced that there is going to be seven new routes to be chosen to replace the existing road, due to how unsafe it is because of landslides and rockfalls on the road.^[1]

The Esk Highway A4 runs on St Marys pass from St Marys to the Tasman Highway near Falmouth.^[2]
