Stiltner was a small unincorporated community that developed at the mouth of Brush Creek, a tributary of Twelvepole Creek, in Wayne County, West Virginia, United States.

In 1969, Stiltner and the surrounding area were permanently submerged under the constructed East Lynn Lake.[2]

Stiltner had a Post Office.[3] A former variant name was Fry; the present name honors the local Stiltner family.[4]
