Mount Engadine is a 2,972-metre peak in the Spray River Valley of Alberta's Kananaskis Country, within the limestone heights and forested valleys of the Kananaskis Range. Named in 1917 after HMS Engadine, a Royal Navy seaplane tender that served at the Battle of Jutland in the First World War, it reflects a broader pattern of imperial and military naming in the Canadian Rockies. The mountain is formed of ancient sedimentary rock later pushed eastward during the Laramide orogeny that shaped much of the Rockies. Its waters drain toward Spray Lakes Reservoir, and its cold subarctic climate has made it a valued backcountry summit.
