Mạc Hiếu Quang, KKTC CRD (12 November 1882 – 20 February 1979), courtesy name Tuấn Linh, was a Quenminese general officer that participated in the Quenminese Front of the Siduri War. Ranked as an Imperial Marshal a year before the Second Europan War, Quang was appointed commander of the Northern Imperial Front, and subsequently the Western Combined Expeditionary Front.

Quang was born in Quyền Bính Tông City in 1882 to a farmer family. He helped around when he was young, until in his adolesence, he decided to become a military officer after being inspired by his father who served in Kholmatzhon's Rebellion. At 18, he attended the Bạch Đặng Imperial Officers' Academy, and was respected for his sense of honor and adaptive strategies, which made him a distinguished cadet. After graduating as a second lieutenant, he served in the Aichi War and was promoted to captain. In the First Europan War, he was promoted to Major General in the last years of the conflict for his efforts against Autocratic East Indies—particularly, his campaign against Archelaus zu Schärtal-Tangersten in Autocratic East Europan Bethausia. Quang was noticed by Imperial Army Headquarters for his commendable effort in the accelerated progression of the Northern Theatre of the Fifth Lorican-Quenminese War, and was promoted to Imperial Marshal in 1935, and given command of the Northern Imperial Front. The first years of the Second Europan War oversaw the successful conclusion of the conquest of Lorica in the Final Northern Lorican Expedition. Subsequently, when fellow Marshal Thạch Hung Sõn Chiến was demoted in his complicity in a conspiracy against Victor Sazabio, Quang was transferred to command the Western Combined Expeditionary Front. From the last years of the Middle East Campaign, Quang emerged as an effective opponent against Archibald Sugiyama, exemplified by his Pakistania Offensive and skillful handling of the first years of the Northern Indiae and Nepali-Bhutania campaigns, which delayed the Allied advanced by months; his most particular noteworthy effort in the latter campaign was the Manas River Offensive, and while constituting a defeat for his force, Quang was able to bring Sugiyama's forces to the brink of destruction. At the Battle of Trashigang, Quang stayed at the rearguard and surrendered to the Allies, and was treated well; historians noted that it was his realistic vision of the inevitability of Quenmin's downfall that motivated him to commit such an act. After the war, Quang served to quell the last Imperial pockets of resistance during the Post Second Europan War Crisis of 1945, before retiring from official duty in 1948, and served as advisor the nascent Royal and Imperial Quenminese Armed Forces until his death in 1979 in Đà Nẵng.

Quang remains a revered figure of the Quenminese military, particularly of his adaptiveness and resourcefulness, and his respect and magnanimity towards his subordinates, conquered people and prisoners. He is also known for his protection of Darscens from the government-sanctioned trafficking. Quang his also highly respected among his opponents, particularly Archibald Sugiyama and Tsukuyo Kushineda.
