Şakir Deniz, also known as Şakiro (December 25, 1936, Eleşkirt, Ağrı — June 5, 1996, İzmir), was a Kurdish Dengbêj singer.

== Life == The family of Şakiro, who were from the Zilan tribe, lived in the village of Qerqa near Mount Aragats in Armenia before fleeing to the village of Kela Topraqqalê in present-day Eleşkirt district of Turkey, due to the conflict between the Russian and Ottoman empires.
