Shiarkiek (d. 2374) was a Romulan male who served as the Emperor of the Romulan Star Empire.
- Shiarkiek's age was never given directly, but he was considered an old man even in 2344. Given his vulcanoid physique, this would put him in roughly the same age range as Sarek of Vulcan, making his most likely birth date sometime in latter half of the 22nd century.
