Vilkyškiai () is a small town in Tauragė County, in western Lithuania. According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 666 people. thumb|left|Oak alley
== Etymology == It is believed that the name of the town was previously longer – Vilkijiškiai. This is a place name, which probably originated from the neuter gender Vilkija of the name of the river Vilka (or Vilkė). Theoretically, it is also possible that the first inhabitants of Vilkyškiai originated from the settlement of Vilkija. The normative gender with the suffix -yšk was approved in 1997.
