Mount Chosin Few is a summit in the Chugach Mountains in the Chugach National Forest of Alaska, United States.[1] The prominence is 6,145-foot (1,873 m) ranking it 54th on the list of prominent peaks in the United States.[2]

The peak was named in 2012 by the United States Board on Geographic Names after local and state efforts to rename the peak.[3][4][1] The name was in recognition of those who fought at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950. Those who survived the battle are referred to as The Chosin Few.[5]
