Burin—Burgeo was a federal electoral district in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1949 to 1979.
This riding was created in 1949 when Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation.
It was abolished in 1976 when it was merged into Burin—St. George's riding.
