Adolphus Lake is a lake in Alberta, Canada[1] on the border of Jasper National Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park.

Adolphus Lake has the name of Adolphus Moberly, a pioneer mountain man with close links to the local Iroquois.[2] He guided a 1908 expedition from Edmonton up the Moose River, over Moose Pass into the headwaters of the Smoky River, and over Robson Pass to the foot of Robson Glacier.
