Linas Pilibaitis (born 5 April 1985, in Kretinga) is a Lithuanian professional footballer currently playing for FBK Kaunas.

Pilibaitis joined Kaunas aged 17 in 2002, gradually working his way into the first team as he developed in the following years. This process was aided by a loan spell at Klaipėda side FK Atlantas in 2004, where he scored his first senior goal. Having played a prominent role in Kaunas's 2006 A Lyga victory, he was loaned to Hearts in January 2007.[1] He made his debut for the Jambos in a 2-0 victory at Motherwell on 5 March 2007 but returned to Kaunas in August of that year, having made only five appearances for the Hearts first team.

Usually played as an attacking midfielder or support striker, Pilibaitis earned his first international cap for Lithuania in 2006.
