The '''Tuya volcanic field''' is a [[volcanic field]] of [[tuya]]s located in far northern [[British Columbia]], Canada, near the border with the [[Yukon|Yukon Territory]] and focused on the area of the [[Tuya Range]], a subrange of the [[Stikine Ranges]] of the [[Cassiar Mountains]], though some vents are in the [[Kawdy Plateau]], the northernmost part of the [[Stikine Plateau]]. Several small [[shield volcano]]es, and postglacial [[lapilli]] cones and [[lava flow]]s have been reported in this area. The only nonglacial volcanoes in the field are [[Gabrielse Cone]] and the West Tuya lava field.
