Éamonn Burns (Irish: Éamonn Ó Broin; born 24 January 1972) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for Ballinascreen and Derry in the 1990s and early 2000s. He was part of Derry's first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning side in 1993 and also won two Ulster Senior Football Championships and four National League titles. He also had a distinguished under-age career with the county - winning Ulster Under 21, Ulster Minor and All-Ireland Minor Championship medals. Burns still plays club football with St. Colm's Ballinascreen.
He usually plays in the half forward line. Burns had massive promise at underage level, and won a vast range of honours by the time he was 21, however some feel he never reached his true potential on the inter-county stage. He was also hampered by injury throughout his career.
Burns went to secondary school at St Pat's College in Maghera. Later he attended St Mary's University College in Belfast and Queens University Belfast. Burns teaches Physical education at St. Columb's College in Derry City.
