Nelson Edward Burbrink (December 28, 1921 – April 12, 2001) was an American professional baseball player and scout.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, he was signed by the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent before the 1941 season and served in the United States Navy during World War II.

After being called up to the big leagues in June 1955, Burbrink shared catching duties with teammate Bill Sarni for the remainder of the season.

He made his major league debut on June 5 during a doubleheader against the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field.

After his playing career ended, Burbrink scouted for the Cardinals, New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers.
