The Oxhöft culture (Oksywie culture, Polish Kultura oksywska ) is an archaeological culture from the Iron Age from the 2nd to 1st century BC. Chr. The name comes from the village of Oxhöft, Polish. Oksywie , now a district of Gdynia , about ten kilometers north of Gdansk , the Polish province of Pomerania , where a tomb of this culture was discovered. Research on this site has never been published and the finds are lost.

The Oxhöft culture is related in its material culture to the Jastorf culture and the Nordic group .

As a result of changes in the material culture and the burial ceremony presumably dictated by the Goths , the Wielbark culture developed from the Oxhöft culture .
