The Vatya culture was an archaeological culture of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000-1400 BC) located in the central area of the Danube basin in Hungary. The culture formed from the background of the Nagyrév culture together with influences from the Kisapostag culture. It is characterized mainly by fortified settlements, cremation burial sites, and bronze production. It was succeeded by the Urnfield culture.

Százhalombatta-Földvár, located by the Danube river in Hungary, was an important fortified Vatya settlement, with occupation layers up to 6 m deep.
