Žvėrynas (letteralmente il serraglio) è uno dei quartieri più antichi e delle seniūnija più piccole di Vilnius, la capitale della Lituania. Secondo il censimento del 2011, nella sua area di 2,6 km² risiedono 11.079 abitanti: Žvėrynas si trova sulle rive del fiume Neris e a ovest del Palazzo del Seimas. Il corso d'acqua circonda il distretto da tre lati e lo isola dal resto della città. Dall'altra parte del fiume, a nord-ovest, si trova il parco Vingis. Inizialmente zona di caccia privata fuori città fino alla fine del XIX secolo, in seguito Žvėrynas si è sviluppato come quartiere residenziale di lusso: molte abitazioni in legno, con grandi decorazioni stilistiche, sono visibili ancora oggi.
