Mount Jerram is a 2,996-metre (9,829-foot) mountain summit located in the Opal Range of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.[4] Its nearest higher peak is Elpoca Mountain, 4.0 km (2.5 mi) to the south-southeast.[1] Mount Jerram is situated east of Mount Wintour, within Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
Like so many of the mountains in Kananaskis Country, Mount Jerram received its name from the persons and ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland, the only major sea battle of the First World War.[5]
