Juozas Vitkus, also known by his partisan codename Kazimieraitis (10 December 1901 – 2 July 1946) was an anti-Soviet Lithuanian partisan commander.[1][2][3][4][5]

He was an officer in the interwar Lithuanian army and a lector in the War School of Kaunas. After the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, he was head of the apartments and property department in Vilnius. From 1942 he was involved in the Lithuanian Front, an underground anti-Nazi resistance movement. In 1945 he got involved with the anti-Soviet partisan movement and joined the partisans in the Varėna District of southern Lithuania, where he was appointed its commander. He died fighting in an ambush in 1946.[1][2][3][4][6]
