Užpaliai airfield was an airfield 110 kilometers north-northeast 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.
It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot.
It consisted of a small runway, taxiways and a parking area south 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.
Brushes are growing at the edges of the runway, hoever, making it unusable.
Aerial photography shows a single hangar-like building at the airfield.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
