The Swifterbant culture is a Subneolithic archaeological culture in the Netherlands, dated between 5300 BCE and 3400 BCE.

Like the Ertebølle culture, the settlements are concentrated near water, in this case creeks, riverdunes and bogs along post-glacial banks of rivers like the Overijsselse Vecht.

In the 1960s and 1970s, artifacts classified as "Swifterbant culture" will be found in the (now dry) Noordoostpolder in the Netherlands, near the village of Swifterbant and the former island of Urk.

Other well-known sites will be uncovered in Zuid Holland (Bergschenhoek) and the Betuwe (Hardinxveld-Giessendam).
