Lama Passage, sometimes referred to as Lama Pass, is a strait on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Inside Passage shipping route. It was named for a Hudson's Bay Company brigantine, the Lama, under Captain McNeill (namesake of Port McNeill), which with another HBC vessel, the Dryad under Captain Kipling, brought building materials and stores from Fort Vancouver for the founding of Fort McLoughlin in 1833.
