Mount Dan Beard, Mountain summit in Denali National Park, Alaska, United States

Mount Dan Beard is a 10,082-foot (3,073 m) mountain in the Alaska Range, inside Denali National Park and Preserve. It lies southeast of Denali and overlooks the Don Sheldon Amphitheater of Ruth Glacier. Its summit rises about 1,710 feet above the surrounding ridges.

The peak was named in 1910 by explorers Herschel Parker and Belmore Browne in honor of Daniel Carter Beard, founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone. This naming connected Alaska's mountaineering history with early American outdoor youth movements.

The name honours Daniel Carter Beard, illustrator and founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone, a boys' outdoor organisation that later merged into the Boy Scouts of America. Herschel Clifford Parker and Belmore Browne gave the mountain this name in 1910 while exploring the Alaska Range.
