Kinđa is a Copper Age kurgan (burial mound) in northeastern Vojvodina, Serbia, near the town of Kikinda. Its summit reaches 91 m altitude, with the mound rising 5-6 m above the surrounding plain, making it one of the highest points in Serbian Banat. Believed to be the tomb of an important individual, it is the largest kurgan in Serbia and the centerpiece of a cluster of burial mounds that make Kikinda one of the richest Eneolithic heritage sites in the country. An alternative theory attributes its construction to the Cumans in the 13th century. In 2017, heavy machinery destroyed the northeastern part of the mound beyond repair.
