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, Quang was appointed commander of the Northern Imperial Front, which played a pivotal role in the defense of the Quenminese homeland and subsequent annexations of Tamau and Kansdoen.

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. Quang subsequently served in the Bactieuan Wars, in which his skillful handling of the conquest of the Adelaidines earned him the promotion of Imperial Marshal by the Imperial Army Headquarters. During the Siduri War, Quang would take part in the Quenminese defense during Operation Rhipsaspia, where his Front would suffer a heavy loss inflicted on one of his field armies. Afterwards, he would lead his Front on a series of srategic offensives during Operation Kunai Grass in which he was able to prevent the Allamunnic and Syaran armies from penetrating the northern borders again. Later, he planned and implemented Two Northern Campaigns that would further force the Inner Sphere armies westward. Soon after, he partook the subjugation of Kansdoen via the Northern Kansdoen Campaign, establishing garrisons to consolidate the holding. Quang then participated in the final counteroffensive that forced Allamunika into surrender. In his later career, Quang was given control of the northwest territories annexed during the War, and he would suppress rebellions in Kansdoen. Afterwards, when Đức Khểnh abdicated and Lý Học Thao Viên resigned as per the Blue Revolution, Quang resigned from the military as Kansdoen was granted independence. 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 decisive contribution to the victory of the Quenminese and, indirectly, the Common Axis.
