Burkhard von Weisbriach (1420/23–1466) was a German Roman Catholic cardinal and Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1461 until his death.
He was probably born at Weißpriach Castle in the Salzburg Lungau region about 1420 or 1423, the son of Burkhard von Weisbriach the Elder and Anna of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn.
[1] Throughout the 1450s, he served as an envoy from the Habsburg emperor Frederick III and his brother Archduke Albert VI of Austria to the court of Pope Nicholas V in Rome.
[1] In the conflict of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, Prince-Bishop of Brixen with Archduke Siegmund of Austria-Tyrol, he likewise sided with the Habsburg dynasty.
[1] His appointment as a cardinal was announced in the consistory held in Viterbo on 31 May 1462, and he received the titular church of Santi Nereo e Achilleo at that time.
