Ulick Burke of Umhaill (died 1343) was the son of Richard an Forbair de Burke, and grandson of William Liath Burke.

He is the ancestor of the Bourkes of the Owles, in County Mayo,[1] as well as being the person after whom the MacUlick Burkes (anglicized Gillick) were named. He is sometimes confused with his uncle, Ulick Burke of Annaghkeen.
