Edwin James Kenneth Burn (born September 17, 1862 in Richmond, Tasmania; died July 20 1956 at Hobart, Tasmania) was an Australian cricketer who played in two Tests on the tour to England in 1890.

Burn was a prolific batsman in Tasmanian cricket for many years, and hit 41 centuries in all grades of cricket, two of them over 350 runs, and six of them in consecutive innings. In his first-class cricket career, which lasted from the 1883-84 season through to 1909-10, he made two centuries, with 119 the higher.

Burn's selection for the Australian touring party in 1890 bordered on the farcical: he was picked as a wicket-keeper in what Wisden termed "the one serious mistake in making up the side". Only after he had joined the team on the ship to England was it discovered that he had never kept wicket. He played in the first two Tests on the tour, both of them lost. In the first, he batted at No 10 and No 11; in the second, he was promoted to No 6 in the first innings and opened in the second innings. In all, he scored 41 runs.

At the time of his death at the age of 93 years 307 days, Burn was the oldest living Test cricketer.

His obituary in the 1957 Wisden calls him "Kenneth Edward Burn".
