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