A passage, in architecture, is a narrow room, most often called a hall or a corridor, that serves to provide access to other rooms.

A passage is also a narrow street, usually found in town and city centres, with walls or buildings on both sides. This term is used in British towns and cities mostly, with American places using the word "alley" more often. In some British towns and cities local words are used, such as "shuts" (called so because in the past they were shut at night, and some still are) in Shrewsbury. Passages are found with medieval street pattens, but also with post-modern "organic" street and building design (such as at Paternoster Square).

A passage, in geography, is another term for a strait, which is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water. The terms strait, channel, and passage are synonymous and are usually interchangeable.

In music, a passage is what is often called a section of music but may refer to smaller portions such as a period or phrase.
