The Šešuvis is a river in the Western part of Lithuania, and the main tributary of Jūra River. Šešuvis begins 12 km northwest of Raseiniai city and flows mostly to the southwest. Its greatest width is about 50 m, 2 km from its mouth. Its main tributaries are the Ančia, Šaltuona, Agluona, Žalpė, and Įkojis river. There are no lakes in Šešuvis' basin, so its water elevation depends on its tributaries.
