Mark Sirők (sometimes double-transliterated through Russian as Mark Siryk, or alternatively spelt Mark Sirök or Mark Sirõk; see also ő) is a political activist of the pro-Putin movement Nashi, designated as Nashi "commissar" of Estonia.

Sirők was arrested by the Estonian police for participation in riots in Tallinn that left 150 people injured in April 2007. The Estonian Security Police determined he was organizing the "guard" near the Bronze Soldier by sending SMS's offering a pay of 80 Estonian Kroons per hour. The source of the money was found to be a cash received from Russia.

State prosecutors accused Sirők of planning the Bronze Soldier riots in Tallinn with the support of the Kremlin since 2006.

Although supportive of Vladimir Putin, Sirők has said he supports the constitution of Estonia and is not anti-Estonian, only anti-racist and anti-fascist, and has called for the protection of Estonian speakers' rights as well as Russian speakers.
