Seok is a Korean family name, held by about 56,500 South Koreans and many others in North Korea and around the world. It can represent two different hanja names, 石 meaning "stone," or 昔 meaning "ancient."

The 石 name is the most widespread of the two. The 2000 South Korean census found 46,066 people by this name. [http://kosis.nso.go.kr/cgi-bin/sws_999.cgi?ID=DT_1INOOSB&IDTYPE=3] Of these, the great majority are members of the Chungju (also called Hongju) Seok clan.

The less common name 昔 had a 2000 South Korean population of 9,544. The great majority of these Seoks are members of the Gyeongju Seok clan, which claims descent from certain of the early rulers of Silla. The first Gyeongju Seok to sit on the throne was the fourth Silla king, Talhae.
