Niall Burke (born 21 May 1991) is an Irish hurler who, as of 2012, played as a centre-forward at senior level for the Galway county team.
It was a campaign to forget for 'the Tribesmen', however, Burke emerged as Galway's chief scorer due to the absence of Joe Canning.
After making his championship debut later that year, Burke went on to win his first Leinster medal following a 2-21 to 2-11 trouncing of reigning All-Ireland champions and hot favourites Kilkenny.

[7] On 3 September 2017, Burke came on as a substitute for Galway in the second half and scored two points as they won their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 29 years against Waterford.
