Cucuteni (Romanian pronunciation: [kukuˈtenʲ]) is a commune in Iaşi County, Romania, with a population of 1,446 as of 2002. It is located 45 km from the city of Iaşi and 10 km from the town of Târgu Frumos. Neighbouring villages and communes are Todireşti (to the north), Târgu Frumos and Cotnari (to the east) and Ruginoasa (to the west). The name of the village is derived from Romanian word "cucută", meaning hemlock. The commune is composed of four villages: Băiceni, Bărbăteşti, Cucuteni and Săcăreşti.

This was the place where in 1884 were found some ancient artifacts and the culture that produced them took the name of the village, Cucuteni culture.

An archeological museum displaying artifacts of the Cucuteni culture and a 15th century church built during the rule of Stephen III of Moldavia are located in Cucuteni village.
