Neil William Burnett (born 16 December 1961) is an English-born Scottish former cricketer.

Burnett was born at Wolstanton near Newcastle-under-Lyme, where he was initially educated at Wolstanton Grammar School. After moving to Scotland, he continued his education at Arbroath High School. A club cricketer for Arbroath United Cricket Club,[1] Burnett made his debut for Scotland in a List A one-day match against Worcestershire at Glasgow in the 1986 Benson & Hedges Cup. Over the next three years, Burnett was a regular member of the Scottish one-day side, making eleven appearances across the Benson & Hedges Cup and the NatWest Trophy.[2] In his eleven one-day matches, he scored 118 runs at an average of 13.11, with a highest score of 27.[3] With his right-arm medium pace bowling, he took 6 wickets at a bowling average of 40.50, with best figures of 2 for 60.[4] In addition to playing one-day cricket for Scotland, Burnett also made a single appearance in first-class cricket against Ireland in 1986,[5] scoring 4 runs in the match and going wicketless across both Ireland innings'.[6]

Burnett later captained Arbroath,[1] and following the end of his playing career he served as club president.[7] Outside of cricket, Burnett was a civil servant.
