Litogrāfija Varavīksna (fl. c. 1930 - 1940) was a lithographic printing house active in Riga during the early 20th century. As the name suggests (Varavīksna translates to 'Rainbow'), the firm specialized in color printing and chromolithography. Like most Latvian businesses, Varavīksna was nationalized during the Soviet occupation in the 1940s.
