Mount Brunswick (officially Brunswick Mountain〔), 1788 m (5866 feet),〔 is a summit in the Britannia Range of the North Shore Mountains on the Howe Sound side of the latter range.

==Name origin==
Brunswick was, like other names in the Howe Sound area, named in 1859 by Captain Richards in association with the Battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794. The HMS ''Brunswick'', 74 guns, 1,836 tons, built at Deptford, 1790, was commanded by Capt. John Harvey who lost a limb in the conflict. Also in the area is Mount Harvey, also named for the captain, and nearby is Hutt Island, which was named for another captain who also lost a limb and commanded the HMS ''Queen'' in the battle.〔Walbran, John T; ''British Columbia Coast Names, 1592-1906: their origin and history''; Ottawa, 1909 (republished for the Vancouver Public Library by J.J. Douglas Ltd, Vancouver, 1971, quoted in BC Names]〕
