William John Burke, Burkauskas (polonized Burkowski) (December 14, 1902 – April 19, 1972) was an American professional golfer during the early 20th century.

He was also selected for the 1933 Ryder Cup team but not before some agitation by Gene Sarazen was done on his behalf.

Throughout Burke's golf career he used an unorthodox grip due to the loss of two fingers on his left hand.
