Chillinji pass (elev. 17,503 feet, also marked as 17,360 ft) is a high mountain pass that connects river valley (upper Gilgit valley) in Ishkoman tehsil of Ghizer District district with Chapursan river valley (upper Hunza valley) in Gojal tehsil of Gilgit district in the Northern Areas in Pakistan.

To the east of the pass is Chapursan river that flows southeast and joins Hunza river at Khudabad at Karakorum Highway. As such, Chillinji pass is the closest natural path between upper Gilgit and Hunza valleys.
