The Nevėžis Plain (Lithuanian: Nevėžio žemuma) is a plain (lowland) in central Lithuania, and makes a part of the Central Lithuanian Plain. Its northern limit is marked by the Nevėžis and Lėvuo watershed, while other limits are marked by small ridges (the , , Kavarskas Ridge, Krakės Ridge and others).

There are three levels of the Nevėžis Plain: Traupis level (altitude 80-90 meters), Pagiriai level (70-80 meters) and the Nevėžis river level (65 meters).

River density is high but rivers themselves are slow, sink during the summer. Typical soil is moraine loam with a tiny layer of sand.

The Nevėžis Plain is heavily cultivated area (wheat, sugar beet, rapeseed, barley, potatoes) but significant part (20-30 %) is covered by forests (birch, aspen, oak, ash, pine, spruce trees).^[1]
