In this paper, some gravitomagnetic effects are explored in the presence of cosmic strings. In particular, the gravitomagnetic clock effects and gyroscope precession are considered in the equatorial plane of a spacetime that is the nonlinear superposition of a Kerr black hole with a cosmic string along its axis of rotation. Moreover, an exact solution of the Einstein field equations corresponding to the Godel universe with a cosmic string is introduced. The influence of the cosmic string on the gravitomagnetic effects in this spacetime is briefly studied.
