Francis Romulus Burchell (25 September 1874 in Bristol – 6 July 1947 in Worthing, Sussex) was an English cricket player. He was part of Great Britain's gold medal winning cricket team at the 1900 Summer Olympics, the only time cricket has featured at the Olympics. He did not play much of a part in the only match against France as he was not out for zero in the first innings and didn't bat in the second, nor did he bowl or take a catch. Nothing is known of his career outside the Olympics.
