Mount Michener is a 2,545-metre (8,350 ft) mountain on the eastern border of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada. It forms the northerly part of the Ram Range.

The mountain sits on the shore of Abraham Lake and its north, west and south face are all visible from the David Thompson Highway.

The mountain was named in 1982 after Daniel Roland Michener who was the Governor General of Canada from 1967 - 1974. Its previous names were Eye Opener Mountain and Phoebe's Teat, reportedly after a woman from Rocky Mountain House who would periodically visit the Nordegg miners in the 1930s.[5]
