Litewski Square (Lithuanian Square) is a square in the center of Lublin, Poland, with an area of about 35 thousand square meters, created in the 1820s to hold military parades. Originally named Drill Square. Litewski Square is the central place in Lublin, where state ceremonies, happenings and other events take place. It is listed in the Register of Historical Monuments under the number A/588 and was entered into the register on 10 April 1972.

In the 16th century, a road leading through the present-day square led to a bridge on the Czechówka River, leading further to the route to Warsaw. At that time the land belonged to the Radziwiłł family.In the 17th century it became the property of Józef Karol Lubomirski and later his daughter Maria Anna, the wife of Paweł Karol Sanguszko. After the Sanguszkos, the Szepetycki family owned the square, and in 1801, at a public auction, Beniamin Finke bought it and donated it to the government.
