Nuthinaw Mountain is a mountain on the Stikine Plateau in northern British Columbia, Canada , located east of Tutsingale Mountain and 72 km (45 mi) northwest of Dease Lake on the north side of Tachilta Lakes. It is a product of subglacial volcanism during the Pleistocene period when this area was covered by thick glacial ice, forming a subglacial volcano that never broke through the overlying glacial ice known as a subglacial mound.

Nuthinaw is a Tahltan name meaning Cariboo fence went right into mountain.[1]
