Ronald Montagu Burrows (16 August 1867, Rugby, Warwickshire, England - 14 May 1920, London) was Principal of King's College London from 1913 until 1920. He was also Professor of Greek at University College, Cardiff from 1898 until 1908 and the University of Manchester from 1908 until 1913.

Ronald Burrows was also noted archaeologist who performed excavations in Greece at Pílos (ancient Pylos, on the Coryphasium promontory) and the nearby island of Sfaktiría. Much of this work helped to establish studies of the Minoan civilization.

He was also instrumental in bringing Greece into World War I as a political and military ally of Britain.
