Mitriūnai airfield was an airfield 130 kilometers north-northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe and used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, some taxiways and two medium sized parking areas to the east of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence in 1990 the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located.

From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is in a reasonable state. Aerial photography shows a single building near the central platform at the airfield.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
