South Bastion Mountain is a 2,664-metre (8,740 ft) peak in British Columbia, Canada. Its line parent is Develin Peak, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) away. It is part of the Tower of London Range of the Muskwa Ranges, in the Canadian Rockies.

South Bastion Mountain is named after the South Bastion of the Tower of London. Other mountains in the area are also named after the tower, including North Bastion Mountain, The White Tower, and Tower Mountain, which overlooks the south end of Wokkpash Lake.
