Michael Thomas (Mike) Burns (born September 14, 1970 in Marlborough, Massachusetts) is a retired professional and United States national team soccer player, currently Director of Soccer for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.

Burns played college soccer at Hartwick College from 1988 to 1991. He then played for the Danish side Viborg prior to the inception of MLS in 1995, after which he played for the New England Revolution from 1996-2000, for the San Jose Earthquakes in 2000 and the Kansas City Wizards in 2001 and 2002.

For the United States, Burns competed in a major tournament on every level: in the U-16 World Championship in 1987, the World Youth Championship in 1989, the Olympic Games in 1992, and the World Cup, where he was a non-playing squad member in 1994 and then played in 1998. What he will be best remembered for, however, is letting a ball go through his legs for Germany's opening goal in their 2-0 win in the 1998 tournament.
