Swiderian culture, also published in English literature as Sviderian and Swederian, is the name of Final Palaeolithic cultural complexes in Poland and the surrounding areas.
The type-site is Świdry Wielkie, in Otwock near the Swider River, a tributary to the Vistula River, in Masovia,.
The Swiderian is recognized as a distinctive culture that developed on the sand dunes left behind by the retreating glaciers.
Rimantiene (1996) considered the relationship between Swiderian and Solutrean "outstanding, though also indirect", in contrast with the Bromme-Ahrensburg complex (Lyngby culture), for which she introduced the term "Baltic Magdalenian" for generalizing all other North European Late Paleolithic culture groups that have a common origin in Aurignacian.
