Medelynas, Residential district in Šiauliai, Lithuania.

The district extends from 3 to 5 kilometers north of Šiauliai center, bordered by a railway to Riga in the east and the city ring road in the west.

The name originates from a fruit estate in Vinkšnėnai, and the area expanded from 1962 after merging with Brida collective farm, replacing former orchards.

The Bartašius Forest, named after a pre-World War I forester, marks the location of a significant battle between German troops and Cossack units.

The eastern section contains industrial facilities and the Gubernijos railway station, while the western area features residential buildings along the Vijolė River.

The district houses the Birutės Pumping Station, operating 33 deep boreholes that produce 32,000 cubic meters of drinking water daily for Šiauliai residents.
