Template:Sharksportal Etmopterus burgessi is a newly described lanternshark of the family Dalatiidae in the order Squaliformes. It is found only around Taiwan.

Its status as a separate species relies on variations of characters, such as snout width, flank and caudal markings, and placement of dermal denticles, from other Etmopterus species.

It is named after George H. Burgess from the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Its binomial authority, once confirmed, will be 'Schaaf-DaSilva and Ebert'.
