Veronica Conroy Burns (13 November 1914 – 5 January 1998) was an Irish museum curator, best known as an expert on graptolites.
[citation needed] Burns was one of the founders of the Irish Astronomical Society in 1938, and served as an officer of the organization several times.
In the 1940s she compiled meteorological records at Armagh Observatory, and worked as a laboratory assistant, and in a photo studio.
In early 1960s she would go on field trips to Balbriggan and Skerries in north Dublin to collect Silurian graptolites, which are fossils of colonial marine animals.
She created a large collection of Lower Carboniferous fossils which were used in a paper published on the Scientific Proceedings of the Royal Dublin Society in 1966 by R. G. S. Hudson, Michael Clarke, and George Sevastopulo, though she was not included as an author.
