The Körös culture was a Neolithic culture in Central Europe named after the Körös river in Hungary. In Romania, the same culture is known as the Criș culture. It lasted about 5800 to 5300 BCE, during the First Temperate Neolithic (Old Europe), after the Mesolithic era and the Starčevo culture, and before the Linear Pottery culture.

It is part of the larger Starčevo–Körös–Criş culture group.

A 2017 Nature study analyzed six people from the Körös culture. Y-DNA results: one I2a2 and one G. mtDNA results: five belonged to subclades of K1, and one to H.
