Duke A. Pirak (born c. 1972) is a United States Air Force major general who serves as the deputy director of the Air National Guard. He previously served as the deputy director for politico-military affairs (Asia) of the Joint Staff.
In March 2024, Pirak was nominated for promotion to lieutenant general and appointment as director of the Air National Guard. His nomination has been placed on hold, due to concerns over possible Air National Guard staffing changes, in regards to full-time positions being converted to lower-paying jobs in Alaska.
