Mount Spetch is a 2,579-metre peak in the Coast Mountains of southwestern British Columbia, within Joffre Lakes Provincial Park near Pemberton. Part of the Joffre Group in the Lillooet Ranges, it stands between Mount Matier and Slalok Mountain. The summit was first climbed in 1971 by J. Oswald and G. Walter. Karl Ricker proposed its name to honor Samuel W. Spetch, a Birken storekeeper and Pemberton businessman, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada officially adopted it on January 23, 1979. In a subarctic mountain climate, it receives heavy winter snow, supports the Matier Glacier on its northern slope, and drains into creeks flowing to the Lillooet River.
