Captain Maurice Archibald Bourke CMG (22 December 1853 – 16 September 1900) was a Royal Navy officer who became Naval Secretary.

Born the son of Richard Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo, Bourke joined the Royal Navy in 1867 and advanced to command HMS Surprise, Prince Alfred's Royal Yacht in the late 1880s.

On 22 June 1893, while manoeuvring under the orders of the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, Victoria collided with Camperdown near Tripoli, Lebanon and quickly sank, taking 358 crew with her, including Tryon.
