Daniel Johnson Burn (born 9 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Newcastle United.

He established himself as a regular Premier League player with Brighton from the 2019–20 season before signing for boyhood club Newcastle United in January 2022.

[8][9] Due to the club's financial problems and lack of available players, Burn was promoted to the first team for the first time and appeared as an unused substitute, in a 3–1 loss against Hereford United on 31 October 2009.

[10] Burn then made his away league debut coming on as a 19th-minute substitute for injured defender Mark Bower against Torquay United on 12 December 2009, which resulted in a 5–0 loss.

After this, Burn returned to the academy to further his development before being recalled to the first team by manager Mark Cooper, where he made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season, in a 3–1 win against Barrow on 3 January 2011.

[17] Darlington gave him a two-and-a-half-year contract on improved terms, but Cooper admitted they were unlikely to be able to keep him,[18] claiming that "If I were a Premier League manager I would sign him straight away, whatever the cost".

[19] On 14 April 2011, a deal was agreed for Burn to join Premier League club Fulham at the end of the 2010–11 season for a fee thought to be around £350,000.

[27] Having previously been suspended after being booked five times this season,[28] Burn received a red card after a second bookable offence, in a 2–0 win over Stevenage on 13 April 2013 and missed the last three matches.

[33] However, on 3 July 2013, Burn signed a new contract with Fulham, keeping him at the club until at least 2015, while also moving on a season-long loan to Championship side Birmingham City.

[36] His first goal for the club, a header from a Paul Caddis cross, opened the scoring in the League Cup third-round tie on 25 September, as Birmingham beat holders Swansea City 3–1.

[38] After being recalled, Burn made his first-team debut for Fulham on 4 January 2014, in the FA Cup third round against Norwich City at Carrow Road.

[39] Following the Norwich game, Fulham manager René Meulensteen said that he expected Burn would re-join Birmingham City on loan for the second time, but the move never happened.

[43] After being sidelined for weeks, Burn returned to the first team on 3 May 2014, playing 58 minutes, in a 4–1 loss against Stoke City, which relegated the club to the Championship next season.

[57] After a slow start to the season Burn became one of the stand out performers in the team and was recognised in winning the club's Player of the Year award.

[59] Burn signed a four-year contract with Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion on 9 August 2018 for an undisclosed fee.

[66] On 2 January 2021, Burn scored an own goal, gave away a penalty and picked up a yellow card in a match where Brighton came from 3–1 behind to claim a vital point in a 3–3 home draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

[69] In the absence of Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Pascal Groß and several others, Burn captained the Albion for the first time in the 1–0 home loss to Wolves on 15 December 2021.

[74] He made his debut on 13 February, partnering Fabian Schär at centre back in a 1–0 victory at home to Aston Villa, and was named as Sky Sports' Man of the Match.
