Kazlų Rūda (pronunciation) is a city in the Marijampole County in southern Lithuania. It is located 27 km (17 miles) north from Marijampolė. The city is surrounded by forests, but a railway line crosses the city and divides it into almost equal parts.

The former Soviet Army Kazlų Rūda airbase is 5 km (3.1 mi) northeast of Kazlų Rūda.
