Yvonne Burke (born 20 April 1970) was a Garda Síochána and the first female recipient of the Scott Medal.
Burke and her colleague, Garda Brady, were on mobile patrol on the Navan Road, Cabra, on 13 November 1993 when an alarm was raised at a local supermarket.
Approaching in the patrol car, they received gunfire from one of the men, using a sawn-off shotgun, which shattered the passenger-side windscreen.
At the same time, the rider recovered enough to re-mount and attempt another escape, but collided with a vehicle.
Burke and Brady were presented with their Scott Silver Medals by Justice Minister John O'Donoghue at Garda Síochána College, Templemore, on 23 July 1998.
