The Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant () is a hydroelectric power plant located on the Nemunas River about 7.4 km southeast of Kaunas, Lithuania. It was completed in 1960 and its dam created the Kaunas Reservoir. Owned by Ignitis Group, it operates in conjunction with the Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant.

The plant consists of 4 turbines each rated at 25.2 MW for a total power of 100.8 megawatts. It supplies about 4% of the electrical demand in Lithuania, in 2020 its production was 0.23 TWh.

A renovation was begun in 2005, with work to be performed in partnership with the multinational conglomerate Alstom. The first phase was completed in November 2008; completion is scheduled for the end of 2009.
