Mount Squire is a mountain in Range 2 Coast Land District of British Columbia, Canada. It is located northwest of the head of Knight Inlet in the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield between the Kingcome and Silverthrone glaciers. The Bivouac Mountain Encyclopedia describes Mount Squire as a snow bump whereas the British Columbia Mountaineering Club notes that the mountain consists of loose volcanic rock. A climber's guide published by the British Columbia Mountaineering Club gives an elevation of 2,390 m (7,840 ft) for Mount Squire; this differs from the Bivouac Mountain Encyclopedia, which gives an elevation of 2,381 m (7,812 ft) for the mountain.^[1][3]

The name of the mountain was adopted on the National Topographic System map 92M on March 28, 1967. It is named after James H. J. Squire, a Canadian Army private from North Vancouver who was killed in action on July 18, 1943, while serving with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada during World War II.^[2] Squire is buried in the Moro River Canadian War Cemetery near the Adriatic Sea in Ortona, Italy.^[2][4]
