The Nemunas, Nioman, Neman or Memel is a river in Europe that rises in central Belarus and flows through Lithuania then along the northern border of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia's western exclave which specifically then takes its southern mouth. It drains into its Curonian Lagoon, narrowly connected to the Baltic Sea. It flows about 900 km (560 mi), so it is considered a major Eastern European river. It flows generally west, north, then westward.
