William Beaumont Burns (29 August 1883 – 7 July 1916) was an English cricketer who played more than 200 first-class matches in the early 20th century, the great bulk of them for Worcestershire, for whom he filled in as captain on a number of occasions when the usual incumbents were not available. Burns' obituary in Wisden described him as a "dashing, hard-hitting batsman" but added that his bowling — which he scarcely pursued until the middle of his career — had to be considered suspect: "the fairness of his delivery was often questioned — and not without good reason".
