'''Mount Chittenden''', elevation {{convert|10182|ft|m}}, is a mountain peak in the [Absaroka Range](/source/Absaroka_Range) in [Yellowstone National Park](/source/Yellowstone_National_Park). The peak was named by [Henry Gannett](/source/Henry_Gannett) of the [Hayden](/source/Ferdinand_Vandeveer_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](/source/Hiram_M._Chittenden), the U.S. Army Engineer famous for his road and bridge work in the park.
