Bukčiai, Village in Vilnius County, Lithuania.

Bukčiai lies on the right bank of the Neris River, adjacent to Lazdynai district and near dense forest areas at coordinates 54.654, 25.203.

Archaeological excavations in the area uncovered Stone Age findings approximately 0.8 kilometers north of the settlement, indicating human presence thousands of years ago.

The name Bukčiai stems from Polish term 'buchta' meaning river bay, reflecting its location near a significant bend in the Neris River.

The settlement maintains an operational water source facility established in 1969 and connects to Vilnius International Airport located three miles from the area.

Local records mention an abandoned Polish military shooting range with concrete positions and ten-meter-high earthworks from the interwar period.
