Mount Duke is a 2,379-metre (7,805-foot) mountain summit located in the Joffre Group of the Lillooet Ranges, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 30 km (19 mi) east of Pemberton, and 10 km (6 mi) southwest of Duffy Lake. The highest peak in the Joffre Group, Mount Matier, rises 4.4 km (3 mi) to the west. The mountain's name was submitted by Reverend Damasus Payne, a Benedictine monk and mountaineer, to honor Archbishop William Mark Duke. It was officially adopted on April 21, 1966, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Caspar Creek and Twin One Creek.
