The Samogitian Upland ({{langx|lt|Žemaičių aukštuma}}) is a hilly terrain in the west of Lithuania. It is approximately 100 km in length in the northwest to southeast direction and 50 km in width.Simona Vinciūnaitė, [https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/zemaiciu-aukstuma/ Žemaičių aukštuma], Universal Lithuanian Encyclopedia
The current terrain of the highlands was formed after the last ice age as a result of the repeated regressions during warmer periods and progressions during colder periods.
The Žemaitija National Park and the {{ill|Varniai Regional Park|lt|Varnių regioninis parkas}} are within the area.
The rivers that begin in the highlands include: Venta, Virvyčia, Minija, Babrungas, Kražantė, Akmena, Ančia. The lakes within the area include: Plateliai Lake, {{ill|Lūkstas|lt}}, {{ill|Paršežeris|lt}}, Biržulis.
Its highest, central part is the {{ill|Samogitian Watershed|lt|Žemaičių vandenskyrinis kalvynas}}, which contains the highest point in the upland: the Medvėgalis hill (234.6 m).
Its eastern part is the East Samogitian Plateau,[https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/rytu-zemaiciu-plynaukste/ Rytų Žemaičių plynaukštė] the western part is the West Samogitian Plateau.[https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/vakaru-zemaiciu-plynaukste/ Vakarų Žemaičių plynaukštė]
