Freddie Burns (born 13 May 1990) is an English Rugby Union player who plays fly-half for Leicester Tigers and England.
Burns is a former pupil of Beechen Cliff School in Bath. His younger brother Billy Burns, who plays for Gloucester, also attended the school.
On 6 June 2008 Burns was announced as part of the intake to Gloucester Rugby's academy, joining from Bath Rugby's academy.
On 30 June 2009 Gloucester Rugby announced that Burns was one of a number of academy players to sign senior contracts.
In January 2010 he re-signed with Gloucester, committing himself until the end of the 2011/12 season.
His contract was renewed in the Spring of 2012.
Burns came in for Gloucester in the game against Biarritz Olympique and got a conversion. In the next game he made his first start at fullback at Kingsholm against Australia. In this game he scored a try. In the following match he was once again selected at fullback and he scored two penalties against the Cardiff Blues. However next game Olly Morgan replaced Burns at fullback and Burns made a start at fly-half. Burns then scored all of his clubs points with two converted tries. Burns has since played many games at fly-half and fullback, including an April 2010 performance against Saracens. In this game he was named the man of the match as a reward for his outstanding kicking from hand, goal kicking and composure under the high ball. The highlight of this match was when Burns chipped over a rushing Saracen defence allowing Charlie Sharples to score a vital try in the corner.
He joined Leicester Tigers at the end of the 2013-14 season. On 14 February 2017, Burns has signed for hometown club Bath ahead of the 2017-18 season.
