Šarūnas Jasikevičius (, born March 5, 1976 in Kaunas, Lithuania) is a basketball player for the NBA's Indiana Pacers. He plays point guard.

Jasikevičius moved to the United States at a young age, playing high school basketball at Solanco High School in Quarryville, Pennsylvania and college basketball at the University of Maryland. Although he was moderately successful on that level, he went undrafted in the 1998 NBA Draft and returned to Lithuania to play for Lietuvos Rytas for one season (1998-99). He spent 1999-2000 in Slovenia with Olimpija Ljubljana.

Jasikevičius won a bronze medal for Lithuania in the 2000 Summer Olympics, when his team lost to the United States by just two points in the semifinals. The margin was the closest at the time since the US started to use professionals, as Jasikevičius' last-second desperation three-pointer that could have won the game for Lithuania had no chance.
