美洲大陆分水岭(英语:Continental Divide of the Americas)又称大分水岭(Great Divide)、西部分水岭(Western Divide)或大陆分水岭(Continental Divide),是南北美洲大陆西端组成连续分水岭的一系列山脊,将大陆内水系流域大致分隔成太平洋出海口的水系与大西洋(包括墨西哥湾和加勒比海)/北冰洋(包括哈德森湾)出海的水系。美洲大陆分水岭北起阿拉斯加在白令海峡沿岸的威尔士王子角,往西南经过加拿大育空地区和不列颠哥伦比亚省、美国的蒙大拿州、怀俄明州、科罗拉多州和新墨西哥州、以及墨西哥大部分地区,然后通过中美洲到南美洲与安地斯山脉相连,一直延伸到麦哲伦海峡沿岸的弗罗厄德角。
