Dunckley Pass is a high mountain pass in The Flat Tops mountains of western Colorado. Rio Blanco County Road 8, a gravel road, traverses the pass, which divides the watersheds of East Fork Williams Fork and Fish Creek.{{cite web |url=https://www.4x4explore.com/rds/cnty_rds/rio_blanco_8_dunckley_ps.html |title=Rio Blanco County Road 8 (Dunckley Passes) |author= |date=2016-12-12 |website=4X4explore.com |publisher= |access-date=2021-06-25}}

The pass, part of the Flat Tops Trail Scenic and Historic Byway, is accessible to passenger cars, but only seasonally, generally from late May to October. The Dunckley Pass Overlook Picnic Site, near the actual pass, provides views of The Flat Tops.{{cite web |url=https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbr/recarea/?recid=23062 |title=Dunckley Pass Overlook Picnic Site |author= |date= |website= Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests & Thunder Basin National Grassland|publisher=United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service |access-date=2021-06-25}}
