Strok (Strock) Lev (pseudonym: Leo Strokov) (1891, Dvinsk — late 1940s, New York) — violinist.
In 1911, Lev Strok graduated from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory with a minor gold medal (class of Leopold Auer). He further perfected his skills under Eugène Isaya.
He performed in various European countries and, in May 1927, gave an unsuccessful concert at the Latvian Conservatory. In the 1930s, he emigrated to the United States.
At the British Columbia Records studio, he made nearly 40 recordings, including sonatas and partitas by Johann Sebastian Bach, caprices by Niccolò Paganini, and the Symphonie espagnole by Édouard Lalo.
He was the brother of Oskar Strock.
