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 and later charged with inciting the Bronze Night 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.
