Ąžuolynas is an urban oak-grove park in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, known for its concentration of mature oak trees and status as a major green space in the city. It is recognised as one of the larger urban oak stands in Europe.

The park features oak-lined paths, open lawns and areas used for walking, sport and passive recreation by city residents. It functions primarily as municipal parkland rather than a developed tourist attraction.

The grove has been part of Kaunas’s network of parks and urban green space for many decades and plays a role in local recreation and city ecology.

Ąžuolynas is located within the urban area of Kaunas in Kaunas County; the grove lies inside the city rather than in a distant rural landscape.
