Count Edmund Bourke, also Edmond or Edmound Burke (November 2, 1761 in St. Croix - August 12, 1821 in Vichy, France) was a Danish diplomat who negotiated and signed the Treaty of Kiel.

[2] Edmund Bourke inherited a considerable fortune from his father and pursued a career as a Danish diplomat.

[6][7] Bourke undeniably was assisted by the fact that the Swedish negotiator had no idea that these islands had previously belonged to Norway.

The exemption formulated by Bourke was an addition to the Swedish draft treaty but the desire to clarify the exception of the Atlantic islands seems to have arisen as a consequence of English policy.

[2] Bourke married Maria Assunta Leonida Butini in 1798, a good-natured, lively Neapolitan woman who was his mistress before she became his wife.
