オランダ坂は、長崎県長崎市東山手の旧居留地時代につくられた石畳の坂道・石段。 長崎市東山手重要伝統的建造物群保存地区を構成する要素の一つ。
オランダ坂の名称は、かつては大浦や東山手、南山手といった旧居留地の石畳が敷かれた坂道の総称であったが、現在は長崎市の公式観光サイトの記述によれば｢誠孝院前の坂｣、｢活水坂｣、｢活水学院下の坂｣の三つの坂の総称としている。
沿道には異国情緒を伝える15棟の洋館群が建ち並び、眼下に長崎港を臨景観に恵まれたロケーションにある。長崎の観光地を結ぶ動線であるほか、高台に住む地域住人に欠くことのできない生活道路として親しまれている。 小雨が降って石畳がしっとり濡れたオランダ坂の情景は、風情があるといわれ人気も高い。
