Burstwick is a village and civil parish in the Holderness region of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Burstwick is described as a caput, or principal residence, in the Honour of Holderness,[2] and is listed in the Domesday survey as one of twelve linked manors.

[3] Burstwick is a few miles from the local market town of Hedon and the villages of Keyingham and Thorngumbald.

[5] Some low-lying parts of Burstwick were affected by the June 2007 floods which hit most of the county.

To the north-west of the village is the site of Burstwick Castle which is an ancient scheduled monument.
