contents While recent experiments confirm the existence of hundreds of topological electronic materials, only a few exhibit the coexistence of superconductivity and a topological electronic state. These compounds attract significant attention in forefront research because of the potential for the existence of topological superconductivity, paving the way for future technological advancements. $SrSn_{4}$ is known for exhibiting unusual superconductivity below the transition temperature ($T_{C}$) of 4.8 K. Recent theory predicts a topological electronic state in this compound, which is yet to be confirmed by experiments. Systematic and detailed studies of the magnetotransport properties of $SrSn_{4}$ and its Fermi surface characterizations are also absent. For the first time, a quantum oscillation study reveals a nontrivial $π$ Berry phase, very light effective mass, and high quantum mobility of charge carriers in $SrSn_{4}$. Magnetotransport experiment unveils large linear transverse magnetoresistance (TMR) of more than 1200% at 5 K and 14 T. Angle-dependent transport experiments detect anisotropic and four-fold symmetric TMR, with the maximum value ($\sim$ 2000%) occurring when the angle between the magnetic field and the crystallographic b-axis is 45 degree. Our results suggest that $SrSn_{4}$ is the first topological material with superconductivity above the boiling point of helium that displays such high magnetoresistance.
