Mount King George is located in Kluane National Park and Reserve within Yukon, Canada. The mountain was named in 1935, along with the nearby Mount Queen Mary, for George V’s and Queen Mary's silver jubilee, or 25 years of rule.[4]

The mountain's first published ascent was in 1965 via the southwest ridge.[3] The results of a 1996 expedition to Mount King George have been published.[5]
