Šakiai () is a city in the Marijampolė County, Lithuania. It is located west of Kaunas.
==History== It is presumed that Šakiai first expanded from Šakaičai village, which was first mentioned in 1599. In 1719, Šakaičiai was renamed to Šakiai, and in the same year, a church was built. In 1765, Michał Fryderyk Czartoryski approved the settlement of Jews. In 1766, it was granted Magdeburg rights by King Stanisław II August Poniatowski thanks to efforts of Michał Fryderyk Czartoryski.
