Mount Vancouver is the 15th highest mountain in North America. Its southern side lies in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve at the top of the Alaska panhandle, while its northern side is in Kluane National Park and Reserve in the southwestern corner of Yukon, Canada. Mount Vancouver has three summits: north, middle, and south, with the middle summit being the lowest. The south summit, Good Neighbor Peak at {{convert|4785|m|ft|abbr=on}}, straddles the international border while the north summit is slightly higher at {{convert|4812|m|ft|abbr=on}}.{{cite bivouac|id=237|name=Mount Vancouver|access-date=2015-08-21}}

The mountain was named by William Healey Dall in 1874 after George Vancouver, who explored the southeast coast of Alaska from 1792 to 1794.
