Seiresk (/ˌseɪˈrɛsk/ Soravian: Cеїреск; Seiresk; lit. "Seyres' [City]" or "[City of] Seyres"), also known as Olsovsk (1904–1973) and Gardos (1973–1983) is an urban municipality located just south of the city of Samistopol in Samistopol Province, Soravia. With an estimated population of 304,881 as of 2021, it is the 28th largest city in Soravia, though it is usually counted as part of the Samistopol metropolitan area, which houses a population of over 14 million.

Seiresk was initially founded in 1904 as Olsovsk as an industrial town to house factories and accomodation for its workers. During the war it produced military equipment and supplies for the Soravian armies on the Eastern Front. As Samistopol expanded from the post-war population and migration boom, Olsovsk was eventually incorporated heavily into the city's expanding metropolitan area. The city was impacted economically by rozplav, when corporations and conglomerates moving into the city headquartered themselves in the city's Karga district. In 1973, ZVNP officials of the Olsovsk Rada renamed the city to Gardos, after the incumbent of the same name.

After the Sostava War, Gardos was renamed to Seiresk, its modern name, in a wave of urban renamings that occurred to remove ZVNP influences. The city is named after Alexandre Seyres, a Solarian philosopher whose publications inspired many republican movements across the world. While many companies relocated in wake of the Sostava War, it continues to maintain its status as a financial capital of Soravia into the modern day. Major companies such as Zakhaz and major institutions such as Samorspi and Natkosma remain headquartered in the city. Other landmarks in the city include the Kamenka Cosmomuseum, the Soravian Scientific and Physical Institute Complex and the Soravian National Archives Building.
