Tim Bourke (born 14 April 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).
A ruckman from St Joseph's, Bourke played five senior games for Geelong. He debuted in the opening round of the 1989 VFL season, a two-point loss to North Melbourne Football Club at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[1] His other four games came early in 1990, rounds two to five.[1]
His older brother, Damian Bourke, missed the opening round of the 1989 season and didn't play at all in 1990 due to a knee injury, so the pair never got to play together.[2][3]
At the end of the 1991 season, Bourke was traded to North Melbourne, for a late draft pick.[4] He was cut from North Melbourne's list in March 1992.[5]
