The Gorokhovo culture (6th-3rd century BCE) was a Saka culture on the eastern side of the Ural mountains. It is similar to, but different from, the neighbouring Sargat culture.^[1][2]

The culture had fortified settlements, probably aimed at protecting the metallurgical ressources of the Urals.^[3]
