We study long-range discrete Dirac operators with Stark potential, extending the theory of Stark localization from scalar lattice models to systems with internal spinorial structure. We initially investigate the local setting, where two distinct localization mechanisms arise. The standard local Dirac-Stark operator yields two Stark-type spectral ladders and exponentially localized spinorial eigenfunctions. Conversely, a related pure-shift local model exhibits an invariant block structure that leads to explicitly computable eigenvalues and exact localization, with eigenfunctions compactly supported on only two spinorial sites. This extreme confinement surpasses the factorial decay characteristic of the classical scalar Stark model. For the general long-range Dirac model, we observe that the eigenvalues remain asymptotically close to the Stark ladder and prove that the corresponding eigenfunctions satisfy power-law localization estimates. Consequently, we establish power-law localization in the sense of finite moments of the position operator for the spinorial evolution. Our results demonstrate that deterministic Stark localization is robust and persists in genuinely matrix-valued lattice systems.
