Mount Saskatchewan is a mountain located in the extreme southwestern corner of Yukon in Kluane National Park and Reserve. The peak was named in 1967 for the province of Saskatchewan to mark Canada's centennial.

As of 2006, the mountain remains unclimbed. The first attempt was made in 1967 as part of Canada's centennial celebrations. A team from Saskatchewan attempted to climb it in May 2005 to celebrate the centennial of the province. However, warmer than usual weather conditions and difficulties in finding a relatively safe route rebuffed the attempt.
