Apache Pass is a historic passage in Arizona between the Dos Cabezas Mountains and Chiricahua Mountains, approximately 32 km (20 mi) E-SE of Willcox, Arizona.

A freshwater spring was once an important water source for travelers in the desert landscape. The spring was considered such an important resource that the US Army built Fort Bowie there in the 1860s to protect it.

Apache Pass is now part of the Fort Bowie National Historic Site.
