'''Mount Chittenden''', elevation {{convert|10182|ft|m}}, is a mountain peak in the Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park. The peak was named by Henry Gannett of the Hayden Geological Survey of 1878 for George B. Chittenden, a surveyor who had worked with Gannett, Hayden and others in surveys in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Chittenden never participated in any of the Yellowstone surveys.<ref>{{cite book |last=Whittlesey |first=Lee |title=Yellowstone Place Names |publisher=Montana Historical Society Press |location=Helena, MT |isbn=0-917298-15-2 |year=1988 |pages=103}}</ref>
Mount Chittenden was not named for Major Hiram M. Chittenden, the U.S. Army Engineer famous for his road and bridge work in the park.
