The Milograd culture (also spelled Mylohrad, also known as Pidhirtsi culture on Ukrainian territory) is an archaeological culture, lasting from about the seventh century BC to the first century AD. Geographically, it corresponds to present day southern Belarus and northern Ukraine, in the area of the confluence of the Dnieper and the Pripyat, north of Kiev. Widely identified with the Neuri people as described in The Histories of Herodotus. The ethnic composition of the culture is uncertain. Many identify it with the proto-Baltic people (J.P. Mallory), others with the proto-Slavic people (O.N. Melnikovskaya).

The town of Milograd, after which the culture is named, is located in the Homiel Province of the Belarus republic.
