Wilkerson Pass (el. 9507 ft./2898 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains in Pike National Forest, in Colorado.

There is a Forest Service visitor center and a few short trails. Wilkerson Pass marks the eastern boundary of South Park.

The pass is traversed by U.S. Highway 24. It has a mild approach on both sides and does not cause problems for vehicles in winter, generally.

The pass is about 50 miles west of Colorado Springs and is surrounded by peaks over 14,000 feet.
