Heather Burke is an Australian historical archaeologist. She is an associate professor at Flinders University.[1]

Burke obtained a bachelor's degree in archaeology from the University of New England in 1987, and a PhD from the same university in 1997. Her doctoral thesis investigated the expression of ideology through architectural style in the city of Armidale, New South Wales, during the period 1830–1930. It was published as Meaning and Ideology in Historical Archaeology (1999).[2]

Before her appointment at Flinders, she taught briefly at the University of New England and worked as a consultant archaeologist.

She is an avid fan of the film 'Sharknado', the viewing of which has become a family tradition, although she missed the 2017 viewing of the 4th and 5th films.
