Rod Burton (born 10 September 1948) is a British singer, songwriter, actor, musician and entertainer.

He spent several years busking in the south of France and playing in pubs and bars until an audition with his then wife Jane Tucker got him a job on children's TV show Rainbow.

Plans went through, and The Rod, Jane and Freddy Show aired its first episode on 15 January 1981.

In 1996, he won a Gold Badge Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
