Latukan Volcano is a potentially active stratovolcano in the centre of a chain of young E-W-trending[clarification needed] stratovolcanoes in northwest Mindanao, southeast of Lake Lanao, province of Lanao del Sur, island of Mindanao, in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

The Global Volcanism Program records its elevation as 2,280 metres (7,480 ft) at a latitude of 7.654°N and longitude of 124.438°E.[1]

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) lists Latukan as an inactive volcano, without any indication as to why it considers Latukan to be inactive.[2]

Like most volcanoes in southern Philippines, Latukan has not been well studied.[citation needed]
