The Parsenn Funicular ({{langx|de|Davos Parsenn Bahn}}, DPB) is a funicular railway in the resort of Davos in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The line links the town of Davos with the Weissfluhjoch ridge and the Parsenn ski area.{{cite web | url = http://www.funimag.com/suisse/Parsenn01.htm | title = DPB - Davos Parsenn Bahn | publisher = Funimag | accessdate = 2014-01-13}}

The funicular is composed of two separate and independent sections, with an interchange station between the two at Höhenweg. The lowest station (Davos DKB) lies at an elevation of {{convert|1560|m}} and the highest (Weissfluhjoch DKB) lies at an elevation of {{convert|2665|m}}.{{cite map |publisher=Swisstopo |title=Weissfluhjoch (1:25,000) |url=https://s.geo.admin.ch/8132e2cdd4 |accessdate=2019-04-10 }} The highest section is the highest open-air funicular in Switzerland and the second highest after the Metro Alpin.
