Pikeliai (Polish: Pikiele, Yiddish: Pikeln) is a town in Telšiai County, Lithuania.
In 1625 Protestant Bilevičius demolished Catholic church in Pikeliai but it was rebuilt in 1636.
By 1921 the increasingly hostile situation had brought the Jewish population down to 286 people.
[2][3] Between 3 and 9 August 1941, all the Jewish families that had not fled Pikeliai were taken out of town and killed by the Nazis and their Lithuanian collaborators.
