Kulotino (Russian: Куло́тино) is an urban locality (a work settlement) in Okulovsky District of Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the Peretna River a few kilometers northeast of the town of Okulovka. Municipally, along with seventeen rural localities, it is incorporated as Kulotinskoye Urban Settlement in Okulovsky Municipal District, one of the three urban settlements in the district. Population: 2,942 (2010 Census);3,430 (2002 Census);4,304 (1989 Census).

In 1882, a textile factory was built, which was the foundation of Kulotino. The factory was located close to the selo of Polishchi. In the beginning of the 20th century, Kulotino was a village in Okulovskaya Volost of Malovishersky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Kulotino was transferred to newly established Okulovsky District. Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well, and the district became a part of Borovichi Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. In the end of 1927, Polishchsky Selsoviet was renamed Kulotinsky Selsoviet, and on June 25, 1928, Kulotino was granted urban-type settlement status. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On July 5, 1944, Okulovsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast and remained there ever since.

Kulotino was founded as a settlement around the textile factory. The factory was defunct as of 2011.
