The Burla (Russian: Бурла; Kazakh: Борлы, Borly) is a river in Russia and Kazakhstan.

In the Russian Federation the basin of the river is located mainly in Altai Krai, with a little section in Novosibirsk Oblast.

Further west along the steppe, the lower course of the Burla consists in channels between mostly shallow lakes such as Topolnoye, Khorosheye, Peschanoye and Khomutinoye.

[2][3][4][5] There are numerous settlements near the river, such as Alexeyevka, Utyanka, Novoilyinka, Pioner Truda, Topolnoye, Ustyanka, Staropeschanoye, Novoalexeyevka, Novopeschanoye, Burla, Prityka, Mikhaylovka and Petrovka, among others.

All the tributaries dry up in the summer, but the Chuman connects with the Karasuk river in high water years.
