Krokšlys is a village in , Varėna district municipality, Alytus County, southeastern Lithuania. According to the 2001 census, the village had a population of 78 people. At the 2011 census, the population was 50.
== Etymology == The village consists of two parts called Krokšlys and Šumas. Their both meaning is similar, only one name is Lithuanian (from kriokšlỹs 'a little waterfall', krokšlỹs, kriokšlỹs 'one who/which snores, crepitates') another is Belarussian (from шум 'a noise, murmur, tear'). Supposedly, it resonates a murmuring flow of the Ūla River.
