Merope Sahaki Kantarjian (), also known as Siranush, Siranuysh, or Siranoush () (May 25, 1857, in Constantinople – June 10, 1932, in Cairo) was an Ottoman-born Armenian actress, one of the few whose work is tied to an entire era of theatrical history.

The legend of Siranush has been living in the memories of the Armenian people for over a century. Her name went down in the history of Armenian theater as a norm and a height that was not reached. This remarkably talented actress was one of the few artists who helped Armenian arts reach world fame through her career.
