Mount King Edward is a mountain located at the head of the Athabasca River valley in Jasper National Park, Canada. Mt. King Edward is situated on the Continental Divide with Mt. Columbia 5½ km east. The mountain was named in 1906 by Mary Schaffer after King Edward VII.[1]

Mt. King Edward should not be confused with King Edward Peak, 2,789 m (9,150 ft), just north of the US border, although it too was named after King Edward.
