Šarūnas Raudys (born 24 February 1941) is a Lithuanian computer scientist and mathematician, and a professor emeritus at Vilnius University. His research focuses on multivariate statistics, statistical pattern recognition, artificial neural networks and the relationship between classifier complexity, training-sample size and accuracy.
From 1980 to 2009, Raudys headed the Data Analysis Department of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics. From 2009 he led the Computational Intelligence Research Group at Vilnius University.
From 1963 to 1965, he worked as an engineer at the Vilnius Computing Machinery Factory. After defending his Candidate of Sciences dissertation in 1969, he was a senior researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics from 1969 to 1980. He received the title of professor in 1985.
Academic service Raudys supervised the doctoral dissertations of Aušra Saudargienė (2001), Vytenis Punys (2002), and Židrina Pabarškaitė (2009). He was a co-supervisor, together with Frans Groen, of Vytautas Vyšniauskas's 1996 dissertation.
He is a member of the local editorial board of the journal Informatica. He was also listed on the editorial board of Pattern Recognition.

Personal life Šarūnas Raudys was born to Juozas Baltrušis and Antanina Varkalaitė-Baltrušienė, and had one brother, Algimantas Baltrušis. Due to persecution by Soviet authorities, his father was forced to change the family surname to Raudys, which Šarūnas later adopted. His mother was deported to Siberia, and much of his childhood was spent living with his father.
