Panhandle culture is a prehistoric culture of the southern High Plains during the Middle Ceramic Period from AD 1200 to 1400. Panhandle sites are primarily in the panhandle and west central Oklahoma and the northern half of the Texas panhandle.

The culture was likely an outgrowth of the Woodland phase or a migration of people from north-central Kansas.
