Mindaugas Kalonas (born 28 February 1984 in Varėna, Lithuanian SSR, Soviet Union) is a Lithuanian football midfielder who last played for Sillamäe Kalev.
He played in the youth teams of FC Dynamo Moscow, then moved to Rubin Kazan, before having a spell at SC Braga. But at neither club he made it through to the first team. He then moved to Latvia where he played with FHK Liepājas Metalurgs, who went on to win the 2006 Latvian cup, coming second in the league.
After a spell with FC Kuban Krasnodar, he signed for FK Riga, playing for the club in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, where he impressed Bohemian F.C. manager Pat Fenlon. On 31 July 2008, he signed a contract with Bohs until the end of the season and made his debut for the Gypsies in 3–0 win over Cobh Ramblers at Dalymount Park on 1 August. Kalonas adapted well to the League of Ireland and netted his first goal for Bohs in a 2–0 win over Galway United on 22 August. He scored in 2010 world cup qualifying against Romania. He quickly became a fan favourite, netting the winner in a game against rivals Shamrock Rovers and the deciding penalty in a shoot-out to claim The Double in the FAI Cup Final against Derry City. He also became the first Lithuanian to play in an FAI Cup Final.
