Vilmantas Marcinkevičius (born 1969) is a Lithuanian painter. From 1989 to 1995 he studied in the department of painting at the Vilnius Academy of Art. The painter has held 30 personal exhibitions in Lithuania, Denmark, France, Sweden and the Faroe Islands. The artist participated in the Copenhagen, Cologne and tribal art fairs.

Marcinkevičius is noted for his bright colors, with soft lines, often a simplified image. Marcinkevičius's artwork often is created in relation to about the nation's history, state and individual, political, economic and personal gains and losses but he leaves the viewer to interpret his works by painting suggestive art forms.

Marcinkevičius notably has been hired by the Danish Royal family and other prominent persons to paint their portraits.
