The Labūnava Reservoir is an artificial lake in Kėdainiai District Municipality, central Lithuania. It is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south from Kėdainiai, next to Labūnava village. It was created in 1977, when a dam on the Barupė river had been built next to Labūnava village.^[2] In 2003, the dam was reconstructed and a small hydroelectric plant (of 160 kW) has been built.

Shores of the reservoir are curvy, often grown by reed beds. The reservoir mostly is surrounded by agriculture lands, but a small section of the Labūnava Forest is located nearby. The water is used for irrigation.^[2]
