Evangelical Lutheran Church (Lithuanian: Evangelikų liuteronų bažnyčia) is a Lutheran church in the Vilnius Old Town.[1][2][3][4][5] Its parish has 600 members and it is the only Evangelical Lutheran church in Vilnius.[1][6][7][8][9]

Following the restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1990, the church was visited by the Swedish and Norwegian kings.[3]

Commemorating the 500th anniversary of Reformation a monument to Martin Luther was unveiled in the church's yard.[10]
