The Verknė (known as Galaverknė in the upper reaches; Polish: Wierzchnia) is a 77-kilometre (48 mi) stream in Lithuania.

It is a right tributary of the river Neman (Nemunas); their confluence is 3 km (1.9 mi) north of Birštonas.

[1] Its spring is near Rūdiškės in the Trakai District Municipality where it is known as the Galaverknė and passes a chain of smaller lakes.

The Verknė is one of the cleanest streams in Lithuania and 59.4 km (36.9 mi) is popular with kayakers and good for beginners.
