Edward D. Burke (October 6, 1866 in Northumberland, Pennsylvania – November 26, 1907 in Utica, New York), was a Major League Baseball outfielder. He played all or part of eight seasons, from 1890 until 1897. During that time, he played for five teams: the Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburg Alleghenys, Milwaukee Brewers, Cincinnati Reds, and New York Giants.

In 1890, Burke was traded in midseason along with pitcher Bill Day for Billy Sunday. This is the only recorded time the famed evangelist was traded during his baseball career.
