Bandar Sirik (Persian: بندر سيريك)[a] is a city in the Central District of Sirik County, Hormozgan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] It is also the administrative center for Sirik Rural District.[5] Bandar Sirik overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and contains a small harbour to the northwest of the main settlement.

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 3,640 in 640 households, when it was in the former Byaban District of Minab County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 4,140 people in 920 households,[7] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Sirik County.[4] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 5,137 people in 1,182 households.[2]

The Minab River empties into the sea near Sirik, and a mangrove estuary is located here.[8][9] To the northwest along the coast to Bandar-e-Abbas, there are thousands of hidden caves and valleys dotted around the horn of the Strait of Hormuz.[10][11][12]
