The Lüscherz culture (also Lüscherz civilization) is a Late Neolithic archaeological culture of western Switzerland, dated to shortly after 3000 BC until shortly before 2700 BC. It takes its name from the site of Lüscherz – Äussere Dorfstation, on the southern shore of Lake Bienne. Ceramics in this style were first uncovered there in 1878 during excavations by the physician Victor Gross. Depending on the region, the Lüscherz culture was succeeded by the Auvernier culture (2700–2400 BC) or the Auvernier-Cordé culture.
