The Klamputis is a river of Kėdainiai district municipality, Kaunas County, central Lithuania. It originates in Varėnai village, on the edge of Kėdainiai and flows for 4.1 kilometres (2.5 mi) till the confluence with the Smilga (from the right side) in Bartkūniškiai.

Two little ponds are on the lower flow of the Klamputis. The river passes through Varėnai, Tubiai and Bartkūniškiai villages.
