Visvaldas Mažonas is a Lithuanian right-wing politician and leader of the Lithuanian Patriotic Union (Lietuvos patriotų sąjunga).

Mažonas became known primarily after the impeachment of Rolandas Paksas, former president of Lithuania. During the impeachment, Mažonas stood for Paksas, organizing meetings in various towns.

During a demonstration in Ukmergė, V. Mažonas attacked an under-age high-school student and later was found guilty in the court. The lawsuit attracted very much media attention, as it was one of the first political injury cases in the country.
