Mount Ishbel is a mountain peak in Alberta, Canada. The peak is located in the Sawback Range in Alberta's Rockies,[2][3] north of the Bow Valley Parkway and east of Johnston Canyon.
It was named in 1956 after Ishbel MacDonald, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain. It gives the name to the Ishbel Group, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The peak is the subject of Group of Seven member Lawren Harris's painting Mountain Forms.[4]
