Mount Joffre is a mountain located on the Continental Divide, in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta, and Elk Lakes and Height of the Rockies Provincial Parks in British Columbia.^[3] 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.^[4]^[5]
