The Tranys is a river of Kėdainiai district municipality, Kaunas County, central Lithuania. It flows for 7.6 kilometres (4.7 mi).
The river is a left tributary of the Smilga, which flows into the Neman via the Nevėžis. Its basin is mostly covered by forests, including the Krakės-Dotnuva forest and Josvainiai forest.
