Akmenė (pronunciation|Akmene.ogg) is a city in northern Lithuania.

Town became famous when geologists found large reserves of limestone and clay there and in 1947 construction work was begun on one of the biggest cement production complexes in the Baltic States. Nearby, a new town grew which was to become the region’s administrative centre: Naujoji Akmenė (literally means "the New Akmenė").
