The Chilcotin Plateau Basalts are a north-south range of volcanoes in southern British Columbia running parallel to the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt. The majority of the eruptions in this belt happened either 6-10 million years ago (Miocene) or 2-3 million years ago (Pliocene), although there have been some slightly more recent eruptions (in the Pleistocene).

The belt includes the volcanoes Alixton Creek, Browns Lake, Crows Bar, Prentice Gulch, Thaddeus Lake, Alkali Lake, Canoe Creek, Dog Creek, Leon Creek, Lambly Creek, Missezula Lake, Nicola (Chester), Quilchena Creek, West Kettle River, Hydraulic Lake, and Lightning Peak.
