Mount Invincible is a 2,700-metre (8,900-foot) mountain summit located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. The peak is visible from Alberta Highway 40, and the Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes area. Mount Invincible's nearest higher peak is Mount Warspite, 2.6 km (1.6 mi) to the northwest.[1]

Like so many of the mountains in Kananaskis Country, Mount Invincible received its name from the persons and ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland, a major sea battle of the First World War.[4]
