The Alkupis is a river of Kėdainiai district municipality, Kaunas County in central Lithuania. It flows for 12.3 kilometres and has a basin area of 41.8 km². It starts in the Lančiūnava-Šventybrastis Forest east of Šventybrastis. The Alkupis flows southwards through forests and agriculture lands. It is a left-bank tributary of the Nevėžis, which it flows into in Apytalaukis village.

There were several villages ( Peiksva, Marijanka, Melninkai) by the Alkupis once but now only Apytalaukis village is inhabited.

The hydronym Alkupis is a compound noun - the first root derives from Lithuanian alkas, alka ('sacred place, shrine' and 'boggy place') and the second root from the word upė ('river'). [2]
