Mount Saskatchewan is a mountain located in the North Saskatchewan River valley of Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

J. Norman Collie named the mountain in 1898 for the nearby Saskatchewan River.[3] One report said Collie so named it due to its possession of the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River.[7]
