Pernarava (formerly Russian: Пернараво, Polish: Pernarowo)[1] is a small town in Kėdainiai District Municipality, Kaunas County in central Lithuania.

There are wooden Catholic church of Crucified Jesus (built in 1815), dispensary, school, library, monument for postwar partisans of Kęstutis military district.

[3] The toponym Pernarava could be derived from unattested Lithuanian personal name *Pernaras (see similar Pernarauskas, Pernaravičius).

An ancient burial place (of the 1st-13th centuries) and 7 stone axes have been found in Pernarava.

The name of Pernarava (as Parvern) has been mentioned the first time in 1371 after this place was devastated by the Teutonic Order.
