The Republic of Wędziagoła (Polish: Republika Wędziagolska; Lithuanian: Vandžiogalos Respublika) was a short-lived unrecognized quasi-state in the Liauda region, centred around the village of Vandžiogala (Polish: Wędziagoła) near Kaunas in Lithuania. It existed from 1918 to 1919. The state was established by Polish local figures who opposed the creation of an independent Lithuania.
