Stutfield Peak is a mountain in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is located at the northern end of the Columbia Icefield, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north-west from Mount Kitchener, in the Winston Churchill Range of the Canadian Rockies. The peak has two summits - Stutfield East and Stutfield West - and is therefore sometimes referred to as The Stutfields. The West peak is higher than the East peak by 50 m (164 ft).

In 1899, mountaineer J. Norman Collie named the mountain after Hugh Stutfield, who climbed with Collie during his exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Stufield Glacier was also named after Hugh Stutfield, and flows southeast from the peak, in the Columbia Icefield.
