The Rundle Group is a stratigraphic unit of Mississippian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
It takes the name from Mount Rundle (itself taking the name from Robert Terrill Rundle), and was first described in outcrops at the northern side of the mountain in Banff National Park by R.J.W. Douglas in 1953.
