Kristo Kirka (17 January 1883 – 28 April 1955) was an Albanian patriot, diplomat, politician and activist.

From a young age he came in contact with Albanian patriotic circles of that time, following with a trial from the Ottoman authorities.

[2][3] In 1913, he was sent to meet with Albanian Colony of Romania as a representative of Vatra, from there Kirka went to Durrës to welcome the arrival of Prince Wied, newly elected Monarch of Albania.

He joined the pro-British "People's Party" (Albanian: Partia e Popullit) of Noli, and was one of the contributors of its statute.

He was one of the main supporters and participant in the Congress of Berat, where the autocephaly of the Albanian Orthodox Church was declared in 1922.

In 1935 he was assigned as vice-prefect for Himara, where he fought against pro-Greek elements struggling for re-establishment of Greek schools in the area.

In September 2014, Albanian President Bujar Nishani accredited the medal "Honor of the Nation" to many Vatra personalities, including Kristo Kirka.
