Nathan Burke (born 6 February 1970) is a former Australian rules footballer and former coach of the Template:AFLW team in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW).

A tough rover, Burke is considered one of the most courageous footballers to play for the St Kilda Football Club.[1] Burke set the club record for most games—323—at his retirement, which remained the benchmark until broken by former teammate Robert Harvey in round 7, 2006.[2] Dozens of concussions during Burke's career led to him using a helmet.[3][4]

In 2021, he was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.[2]

VFL/AFL playing career

Burke was co-captain in St Kilda's 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup winning side – the club's first AFL Cup win.[5][6]

He started his football playing career with the Pines Football Club. His professional career spanned 1987–2003 despite missing most of 2002 with a knee injury, with Burke deciding to retire late in the season, in the Round 19 clash with Richmond, which the Saints won by 80 points.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It was also notable for the fact that the coaching panel of Richmond that day included fellow St Kilda teammates Danny Frawley and Stewart Loewe, who stayed on the ground in honour of Burke following his parade lap (with Alex Lloyd's "Amazing" played at the ground).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
