The Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews (Lithuanian: Rytų Europos žydų kultūros ir istorijos tyrimų centras) was established in 2004 in Vilnius, Lithuania, to explore the heritage of Jewish national communities in Lithuania and its neighbouring countries.

It was founded by members of Vilnius University's Institute of International Relations and Political Sciences, the Lithuanian Institute of History, and the Litvak Fund. The center's programs include student scholarships, publications, an annual conference, the annual PINKAS, and an international research support program.
