The Waputik Mountains are a mountain range of the Canadian Rockies, located on the Continental Divide between Banff and Yoho National Park. Covering an area of {{convert|1069|sqkm|0}}, the range is located west of the Howse, Blaeberry and Amiskwi Rivers and east of the Bow and Mistaya Rivers and south to Kicking Horse Pass.{{cite bcgnis|id=19115|name=Waputik Mountains|accessdate=2013-06-08}} Named in 1884 by George M. Dawson, "waputik" is the Stoney Indian word for white goat.

Many of the highest peaks of the range are heavily glaciated as they sit within the Waputik and Wapta Icefields. The range is further divided into the President Range and Waputik Range
