The Nisga'a Highway (Highway 113) is a highway that starts in Terrace, British Columbia, Canada at Highway 16. The route provides paved access to the settlements of the Nisga'a Nation - Gitlakdamix (New Aiyansh), Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City), Gingolx (Kincolith), Laxgalts'ap (Greenville), Nass Camp and others. It enters the Nass Country via the valley of Kitsumkalum Lake, which connects from the Skeena and via the Nisga'a Lava Beds Provincial Park. The route heads north from Terrace and once into the Nass River Valley then travels west to Gingolx (Kincolith). It also intersects BC Highway 37, aka the Dease Lake Highway or Stewart-Cassiar Highway, at the junction community of Cranberry Junction.

The route received a newly designed shield and was given the numeric designation of Provincial Highway 113 in Summer 2006.[1].

The number 113 is historically significant to the Nisga'a. In 1887, a Nisga'a chief traveled to Victoria to meet with provincial government representatives, demanding self-government.[2] That didn't come until 113 years later in 2000, when the Nisga'a Final Agreement was passed in Parliament.[3].
