Miroslav "Miro" Žbirka (21 October 1952 – 10 November 2021) was a Slovak pop and rock singer and songwriter, widely popular in 1980s Czechoslovakia.

He sometimes recorded in London, but lived in Slovakia and since early 1990s in Prague, Czech Republic, where he died.

In the late 1970s, Žbirka co-founded two Czechoslovak pop music bands, Modus[1] and Limit.

In 1982, he rose to fame by winning the annual Zlatý slavík award for the best male singer in Czechoslovakia.

Asteroid 5895 Žbirka, discovered by Czech astronomer Zdeňka Vávrová in 1982, was named in his honor[3] (the official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 27 August 2019 (MPC 115893)).
