'''Terminal Mountain''' is a {{convert|2835|m|ft|0|adj=on}} mountain summit located in Jasper National Park, in the Trident Range of the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. The town of Jasper is situated 12 kilometers to the north-northeast. Terminal Mountain forms the west buttress of Marmot Pass, and the east buttress is formed by Marmot Mountain, home of the Marmot Basin alpine ski area. Peveril Peak rises to the south across Circus Valley, and the north side towers above the valley of Whistlers Creek. The nearest higher neighbor is Manx Peak, {{convert|2.0|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the west.
