Kadir Kasirga (born 1975) is a Swedish politician of Kurdish descent. He served as Member of the Riksdag representing the constituency of Stockholm Municipality from 24 September 2018 to 8 March 2020. Sultan Kayhan took his place in the Riksdag after Kasirga resigned. He became a member of the Riksdag again in 2022. He volunteered as an OECD observer to the Turkish elections in May 2023, but he was denied entry to Turkey on grounds he had visited the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the past.
