Cape Sutil is the headland at the northernmost point of Vancouver Island, in the Canadian Province of British Columbia.

Cape Sutil was named in 1792 by Spanish explorers Dionisio Alcalá Galiano and Cayetano Valdés y Flores during their circumnavigation of Vancouver Island, done in partial cooperation with George Vancouver.

[5] Nahwitti was a Kwakwakaʼwakw First Nation village located just east of Cape Sutil.

It was one of the most popular sites for Western trading vessels on the Pacific Northwest coast, and the primary point of contact with the Kwakwakaʼwakw peoples.

Hundreds of trading vessels, mostly British and American, visited during this time, mainly seeking sea otter skins to take to China, where they commanded a high price.
