Captain Hugh Talbot Burgoyne VC (17 July 1833 – 7 September 1870) was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross.

Burgoyne was a 21-year-old Royal Navy lieutenant, serving in the Crimean War when he performed the deed for which he was awarded the VC.

This revolutionary masted turret ship had been the subject of considerable controversy during its design and construction and its loss was attributed to its poor stability.

Lost at sea, Burgoyne and his father [Field Marshall Sir John Fox Talbot buried at the Tower of London] are memorialised in Brompton Cemetery, London, at the Burgoyne family plot against the wall, towards the north-east corner of the cemetery.

St. Paul’s Cathedral, London houses a memorial to Burgoyne and the Officers, Marines, Men and Boys who perished off the South African Coast.
