'''Nuthinaw Mountain''' is a [[mountain]] on the [[Stikine Plateau]] in northern [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], located east of [[Tutsingale Mountain]] and {{convert|72|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} northwest of [[Dease Lake, British Columbia|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''.<ref>{{BCGNIS|17870|Nuthinaw Mountain}}</ref>
