Charles Carrington Burke (8 July 1853 — 22 May 1904) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of James St George Burke, he was born in July 1853 at Bayswater. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He was a student of the Inner Temple, but withdrew in 1881 before being called to the bar.[2] Burke played a single first-class cricket match for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Somerset at Lord's in 1882.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Herbert Fowler in the MCC first innings, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 7 runs by Arnold Fothergill.[4] He married Frances Philippa Addison, daughter of Charles G. Addison, in December 1882.[5] Burke died in May 1904 at Mitchen Hall near Shackleford, Surrey.[6]
