Niamh Reid Burke (born 6 August 1991) is an Irish association footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Women's National League (WNL) team Shelbourne and for the Republic of Ireland national team.

Reid Burke was playing for Raheny United when the Women's National League (WNL) was formed in 2011 and represented the club in the competition's first season. Over the next three seasons she won two league titles and three consecutive FAI Women's Cups with "The Pandas". She also represented the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

For the 2015–16 season, Reid Burke remained with the club in their new guise as Shelbourne Ladies.

Reid Burke was Ireland's first choice goalkeeper at under 17 level. She then progressed to the under 19 team, initially as understudy to Lynn Bradley. At the 2014 Cyprus Cup she won her first senior cap in a 1–1 draw with South Korea.

She made her next appearance and first start against Austria at the 2015 Istria Cup, a 2–0 defeat. She also featured in the next game against Costa Rica, as Ireland won 2–1 and limped to a ninth-place finish at the tournament. Early in the second half, established goalkeeper Emma Byrne was injured in the act of conceding a penalty kick, which substitute Reid Burke saved.
