Vasak Siwni (Armenian: Վասակ Սյունի; d. 452) was an Armenian prince, who was the lord of the principality of Syunik from 413 to 452, and also served as marzban (general of a frontier province, "margrave") of Sasanian Armenia from 442 from 452.[1][2] He renounced Christianity and joined the Sasanian forces against the leaders of the Armenian rebellion in 450/1, which culminated in the defeat of the rebel forces at the battle of Avarayr.[3]
