The Hatvan culture was a Hungarian Bronze Age archaeological culture that succeeded the Nagyrév culture. The earliest identified settlements are located in the Cserehát Hills, later expanding into northern Hungary and the Tisza valley, and the Tiszazug area in Eastern Hungary. The end of Hatvan culture was associated with the expansion of the Ottomány culture.
