John Burgherlin (Burgherlinus, Burgherssh, Bourgherssh, or Burwais) was a pre-Reformation cleric who was the Bishop of Sodor and Man in the first half of the 15th century.

In the first appointment, dated 30 July 1425, he was called John Burgherlin (Latin: Joannes Burgherlinus) and was a Franciscan friar,[1][2] but it is uncertain whether he got possession of the see.

It may be that Richard Payl was still recognised bishop on the Isle of Man until circa 1429–33.

[2][4] He was granted permission by Pope Eugene IV on 18 October 1433 to be consecrated by any Catholic bishop without prejudice as a suffragan to the Archbishop of York.

[5] Because of the different names and religious orders, it is debatable whether it was the same person appointed in 1425[1][2] and again 1433,[2][4] or there were two different people.
