Mount Joffre is a mountain located on the Continental Divide, in the extreme southern tip of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta. The mountain was named in 1918 by the Interprovincial Boundary Survey after Marshal Joseph Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French Army during World War I.^[1]

The normal climbing route (UIAA class II) is via the north face, which is covered by the Mangin Glacier.^[1]
