The Gáva-Holigrady culture was a late Bronze Age culture of Eastern Slovakia, Western Ukraine (Zakarpats'ka Oblast and Dnister river basin), Northwestern Romania and Northeastern Hungary.
It is considered a subtype of the Urnfield culture.

In Slovakia, the culture has originated in the early twentieth century BC.
Gáva people lived in settlements and castles that they built in the Slovakian and Transylvanian uplands.
