The '''Lomena''' is a [[river]] in [[Lithuania]], constituting a left tributary of the [[Neris]].<ref name=vanduo>[http://vanduo.gamta.lt/cms/index?rubricId=d55a80cd-f222-4c28-90d9-656080f83834 Neries mažųjų intakų (su Nerimi) pabaseinis] (Basin small tributaries of Neris (including Neris))</ref>  It starts in [[Vladikiškės]], [[Kaišiadorys District Municipality]] and ends in [[Tartokas]], [[Jonava District Municipality]], [[Lithuania]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.upese.lt/index.php/l/lomena|title=Lomena upė. Baidarių nuoma. Stovyklavietės, poilsiavietės|publisher=upese.lt|accessdate=3 January 2021}}</ref>
The 32-km long Lomena passes through  [[Stasiūnai]], [[Gudiena]], [[Kaišiadorys]], [[Palomenė]], [[Bagdoniškės, Kaišiadorys|Bagdoniškės]], [[Lomeniai]], [[Tartokas, Kaišiadorys|Tartokas]] settlements. The river's lower course is protected by the [[Lomena Landscape Sanctuary]].
The [[hydronym]] ''Lomena'' derives from Lithuanian word ''loma'' ('trough, depression, valley')<ref name="LHEŽ" /> although its older attested form, written in Polish as ''Łowmiana'' could suggest that it may derive from the word ''[[laumė]]'' ('a mythical being').<ref name="neris" />
