Vadžgirys airfield was an airfield 165 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
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 and a small platform to the east of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
