Ringrose Peak is a mountain on the Alberta—British Columbia border, in Canada.

It is located on the Continental Divide on the border of Banff and Yoho National Parks and is part of the Bow Range of the Banff-Lake Louise Core Area in the Canadian Rockies.

The peak was named in 1894 after Arthur Edmund Leake Ringrose by Samuel Allen, because previously Allen had met Ringrose while Allen was visiting the Rockies. Ringrose was visiting from London, England.
