Narva culture, ca. 5th to 4th millennium BC, an archaeological culture found in present-day Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad Oblast (former East Prussia), and adjacent portions of Poland and Russia. It is said to be a successor of the Mesolithic Kunda culture. Named after the Narva River in Estonia, it encompasses the whole of the European Neolithic down to the start of the Bronze Age. The technology was that of flint-based hunter-gatherers, with pottery related to the Pit-Comb Ware culture.

By the time of the Corded Ware culture, two distinct variants are recognized, one to the northeast, and another in the southwest, with the latter displaying characteristics of the earlier Funnelbeaker culture and then Corded Ware and Globular Amphora cultural elements, all of which may be seen as intrusive, and possibly, short-lived.

The northeastern variant seems to have remained largely independent: the impression is that this northeastern version was autochthonous.

The southwestern elements, then, can perhaps be identified with the earliest stratum of Baltic Indo-European culture, and ancestral to the Latvians, Lithuanians, and the now-extinct Old Prussians.
