Burbiškis is a village in northern Lithuania, between Šiauliai and Panevėžys.

Burbiškis features a neogothic manor house of the Bażeński family, surrounded by a park with monuments to Adam Mickiewicz (erected in 1912) and Vytautas the Great.

At the entrance to the manor is a statute of Saint Mary, the foundation of which is a stone with "Mary's footstep." Burbiškis was probably used as a holy place by pagans.
Kornel Makuszyński lived in Burbiškis with his wife in 1912–14.
