Mount Patterson is a peak in the Waputik Range of the Canadian Rockies. It is located within Banff National Park in Alberta of Western Canada.[1][2] Mount Patterson stands across the Mistaya River Valley from Mount Weed, and both are prominent features seen from the Icefields Parkway. Its nearest higher peak is Howse Peak, 10.14 km (6.30 mi) to the northwest.[4]

It was named in 1917 after John Duncan Patterson who was president of the Alpine Club of Canada from 1914 to 1920.[1]
