Marius Žaliūkas (born November 10, 1983, in Kuršėnai) is a Lithuanian footballer, currently on a season-long loan at Scottish Premier League club Hearts from FBK Kaunas.

He started his career with Inkaras Kaunas before joining city rivals FBK Kaunas. He spent a season with FK Šilutė before returning to Kaunas to claim a regular first team position.

Žaliūkas was loaned to Hearts for the 2006-07, making his debut on 26 August 2006 in a 4-1 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He scored his first goal for the Tynecastle club in a 2-2 draw against St. Mirren in December 2006. On April 1 2007, he earned hero status amongst Hearts fans after scoring a late winner against bitter rivals Hibernian at Easter Road. This marked the first time that Hearts had won at Easter Road since November 2002.
