The Malý Šturec is a mountain pass in central Slovakia , on the border between the Great Fatra in the north and the Kremnick Mountains in the south. It is located between the mountains Holý Kopec ( 1055  m nm ) and Priečny vrch ( 1048  m nm ).

State road I / 14 (until around 2003 state road II / 557) runs over the pass and connects the regions of Pohronie (Grantal) and Turiec (Turz) .
