Latukan volcano is a potentially active stratovolcano in the centre of a chain of young E-W-trending stratovolcanoes in NW Mindanao, SE of Lake Lanao, province of Lanao del Sur, island of Mindanao, in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

The Global Volcanism Program records its elevation as 2,338 metres (7,671 ft) at a latitude of 7.65°N (7°39'0"N) and longitude of 124.45°E (124°27'0"E).[1]

Latukan is flanked on the west by Makaturing volcano and on the NE by the historically active Ragang volcano.

Latukan was listed as an active volcano in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Neumann van Padang, 1953), but the date of its most recent eruptions is not known.

Latukan lies in an area of dominantly basaltic volcanoes west of the cordillera in central Mindanao.

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.
