Burk[h]ard[t] Eble (November 6, 1799 – August 3, 1839) was an Austrian physician, ophthalmologist, librarian, medical historian, and writer.
After attending the Lyceum in Rastatt, he joined the Josephinium Academy in Vienna in 1815 following the path of his older brothers Dominik and Ferdinand who became Austrian army physicians.
In 1832 he became a Regimental Field Doctor and soon was shifted as a librarian to succeed Johann Georg Schwarzott at the medical-surgical academy.
He expanded and produced a second edition of Kurt Sprengel's Versuch einer pragmatischen Geschichte der Arzneikunde, a history of medicine.
Unlike Sprengel who merely noted historical figures and achievements, Eble commented on the veracity of facts, declaring for instance homeopathy as being based on tenets that were false.
