Kennedy Mountain is an 11,433-foot-elevation (3,485-meter) summit located in Fresno County, California, United States. It is situated in Kings Canyon National Park, on Monarch Divide which is west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Mount Harrington is four miles to the west along the divide, and Kennedy Pass less than a mile east. Kennedy Mountain ranks as the 569th-highest summit in California, and topographic relief is significant as the northeast aspect rises 2,000 feet (610 meters) above Kennedy Canyon in approximately one mile. The first ascent of the summit was made by a 1903 USGS survey party, and likely named for one of the agency's employees. Inclusion on the Sierra Peaks Section peakbagging list generates climbing interest. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
