Mount Macbeth is a {{Convert|2639|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=on}} glacier-clad peak located in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in Garibaldi Provincial Park of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Spearhead Range, which is a subset of the Garibaldi Ranges. It is situated {{convert|14|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} southeast of Whistler, and {{convert|2|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south of Tremor Mountain, which is the highest point in the Spearhead Range.{{cite peakbagger|pid=862|name=Mount Macbeth, British Columbia|access-date=2019-11-15}} The Naden Glacier spreads out below the eastern aspect of the summit, the Macbeth Glacier lies below the south aspect, and the Curtain Glacier descends the northern slope. Precipitation runoff from the peak and meltwater from its glaciers drains into Fitzsimmons Creek which is a tributary of the Cheakamus River. Macbeth is most often climbed as part of the Spearhead Traverse. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1969 by P. Starr, E. Bass, B. Ellis, and P. Macec via the northeast ridge. The peak was named in 1964 by an Alpine Club of Canada climbing party, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth.{{cite bcgnis|id=12209|name=Mount Macbeth|access-date=2019-11-16}} The mountain's name was officially adopted on August 27, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.{{cite cgndb|id=JAVTX|name=Mount Macbeth|access-date=2019-11-15}}
