Mount Goddard, Mountain summit in Kings Canyon National Park, United States.

Mount Goddard is a mountain in the north section of Kings Canyon National Park, in California's Sierra Nevada, forming the southwest boundary of Evolution Basin. It rises to 4,126 metres, about 477 metres above the surrounding terrain, and its two summits are joined by a short class 3 ridge.

Surveyors from the California Geological Survey explored the peak in the 1860s and made several attempts to reach it. These repeated efforts eventually led to complete mapping of the surrounding region.

The name honours George Henry Goddard, a civil engineer who surveyed the Sierra Nevada in the 1850s. William Brewer's California Geological Survey party gave the name in 1864, the same year two of their attempts to climb the peak failed.

The first recorded ascent, by Lilbourne Winchell and Louis Davis on 23 September 1879, went up class 2 rock from the east side of Martha Lake to Goddard Col, then along the Southwest Ridge with a short class 3 section between the two summits. Approach from the east side of Martha Lake; the summit sits at 4,126 m, so allow time to acclimatise.

William Brewer's survey party had failed twice in 1864.
