Passu Sar (Urdu: پسو سر; or Passu I) is a mountain peak in the Batura Muztagh, a sub-range of the Karakoram mountain range, in the Hunza District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It is the high point of the Passu massif, which also includes Passu Diar (or "Passu East", "Pasu II"). The peak lies on the main ridge of the Batura Muztagh, about 7 km (4.3 mi) east of Batura Sar.

The date of the first successful ascent of Passu Sar is disputed. It was said to have been first climbed in 1978 by a Japanese-Pakistani team, in an expedition which claimed the life of Japanese climber Toshio Takahashi, who fell into a crevasse at 5,800 meters.^[3] Another report dates the first ascent on 7 August 1994 by the German team of Max Wallner, Dirk Naumann, Ralf Lehmann, and Volker Wurnig.^[2][4]
