We study Kundt solutions of topologically massive gravity (TMG) and the new theory of massive gravity (NMG), proposed recently in arXiv:0901.1766. For topologically massive gravity, only the CSI Kundt solutions (i.e., solutions with constant scalar polynomial curvature invariants) were found very recently in arXiv:0906.3559. We find non-CSI explicit solutions of TMG, when $\Lambda=-\mu^2$, and these are the first such solutions. For the new theory of massive gravity, after reducing the field equations to a manageable system of differential equations, the CSI solutions are discussed in detail, with a focus on a subfamily whose solutions are particulary easy to describe. A number of properties of Kundt solutions of TMG and NMG, such as an identification of solutions which lie at the intersection of the full non-linear and linearized theories, are also derived.
