Marcinkonys (Polish: Marcinkańce) is a village in Varėna district, Lithuania, located 21 km.
Throughout the history the place was under Russian, Polish, and Soviet rules and therefore it may be referred to by multiple names and spellings, including Marcinkańce (Polish name), Martsinkantse (phonemic transliteration of the Polish name), Martsinkantsy (transliteration of the Russified Polish name), and Martsinkonis (transliteration of Russian Марцинконис).
During the Holocaust, the town had the Marcinkonys Ghetto for the Lithuanian Jews.
Some Jews escaped during the liquidation of the ghetto and managed to survive the war.
