The '''Sir Winston Churchill Range''' is a [[mountain range]] in the [[Park Ranges]] of the [[Canadian Rockies]] located in [[Jasper National Park]]. The range was named after Sir [[Winston Churchill]], former [[United Kingdom|British]] [[prime minister]].
 
The eastern boundary of the range begins on the western side of [[Sunwapta River]] from the Jasper and [[Banff National Park|Banff]] boundary and extends north to [[Sunwapta Falls]]. The western boundary of the range is defined by the [[Athabasca River]] valley to the east of [[Warwick Mountain]]. The valley narrows as it approaches the [[Continental Divide of the Americas|Continental Divide]], and separates [[Mount Columbia (Alberta)|Mt. Columbia]] from [[Mount King Edward|Mt. King Edward]], the latter of which is not part of the range.
 
This range includes the following mountains and peaks:
