Redoubt Peak is a 3,115-metre (10,220 ft) mountain summit located on the shared border of Jasper National Park in Alberta, and Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. Redoubt Peak is part of The Ramparts in the Canadian Rockies. It was named in 1920 because it has an appearance similar to that of a redoubt on a castle.^[3] Its nearest higher peak is Dungeon Peak, 0.6 km (0.37 mi) to the southeast.^[3]

The first ascent was made in 1927 by F. H. Slark and F. Rutishauser, who both perished on the descent. Their summit record was found on the top the following summer (in 1928).^[3] The mountain's name became official in 1935 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.^[4]

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Redoubt Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.^[5] Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C. Precipitation runoff from Redoubt Peak drains into the Athabasca River on its east side, and the Fraser River from the west side.
