Sok (Russian: Сок) is a river in Samara and Orenburg Oblasts, Russia, a left tributary of the Volga. It is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long, and its drainage basin covers 11,700 square kilometres (4,500 sq mi).^[1] It flows southwest to meet the Samara Bend of the Volga near Sokolyi Mountains, north of the city of Samara. The major tributary is Kondurcha.^{[citation needed]}

Europe's oldest pottery was found on the banks of the Sok River (see Elshanka culture for details).
