Mount McGillivray is a 2,451-metre (8,041-foot) mountain summit located in the Bow Valley of Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

[2] In November 1800, McGillivray and Thompson rode south on a trip from the newly established fort at Rocky Mountain House and explored west into the Bow Valley as far as what is now Mount McGillivray in search of the headwaters of the Columbia River.

[4] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1957 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

[3] During the Cold War, tunnels and vaults were constructed under the north slope of the mountain as part of a plan to safely store government documents, however the project was never completed.

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