Mount Ball is a mountain located on the Continental Divide, on the borders of Banff and Kootenay national parks in Western Canada.

The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector after John Ball, a politician who helped secure funding for the Palliser expedition.

[8][9] The name was officially adopted in 1924 based on Palliser's 1863 map of British North America.

Ball can be ascended from a scrambling route by late summer but involves remote bushwhacking, which limits the number of attempts per year.

[2] Mount Ball is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.
