'Conceited' US policy
In his first state-of-the nation address, Mr Medvedev said Moscow would deploy the Iskander missile system in the Kaliningrad region - between Nato members Lithuania and Poland - to "neutralise - if necessary - the [US] anti-missile system".
"Naturally, we also consider using for the same purpose the resources of Russia's navy," he said.
Mr Medvedev also said Russia would jam the US anti-missile system electronically.
Mr Medvedev's announcement is extremely provocative, but the Kremlin's clear message is that America is to blame, the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Moscow says.
Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus later said that Russia's decision to deploy missiles was "beyond comprehension".
In his speech to lawmakers, the Russian leader also said the August war in Georgia had resulted from a "conceited" US foreign policy.
He said "the conflict in the Caucasus was used as a pretext for sending Nato warships to the Black Sea and also for the foisting on Europe of America's anti-missile systems".
Mr Medvedev, who succeeded Vladimir Putin in May, vowed that Russia "won't retreat in the Caucasus".
Mr Medvedev also blamed Washington for the global financial crisis, but said Russia would "overcome" the challenge.
