Choquette Hot Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Despite the park's name, the official and most commonly-used name of the springs it was established to protect is Stikine River Hot Springs. The park gets its name by the springs' proximity to Choquette Bar, site of the first gold strike of the Stikine Gold Rush of 1861 and named for Alexander "Buck" Choquette, the strike's discoverer.
