Margiris (or Margis) (died 1336) was a Duke of Samogitia, a medieval Lithuanian prince, mentioned in the chronicle of Wigand of Marburg as the heroic defender of the Pilėnai in Samogitia in 1336. Not able to defend the castle against the siege of the Teutonic Knights, Margiris and other defenders decided to commit suicide, burning the castle and leaving no loot for the enemy.
