Heinrich Burger (31 May 1881 – 27 April 1942) was a German figure skater. He competed in both singles and pair skating events. As a pair skater, he was Olympic champion and two-time World champion with Anna Hübler.{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/84475 |title=Heinrich Burger |work=Olympedia |access-date=26 March 2021}}{{Cite book |last=Hines |first=James R. |url=https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio0000hine/mode/1up?view=theater |title=Historical Dictionary of Figure Skating |date=2011 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0-8108-6859-5 |location=Lanham, Maryland |page=47}}

Burger and Hübler were the first world champions and the first Olympic champions in pair skating. They never became European champions, because the European championships did not include a pairs competition until 1930. They skated for the club Müchener EV (Munich EV).{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}} According to figure skating historian James R. Hines, "Contemporary accounts recognize them for their strength and speed, noting that they always skated in perfect time with the music."

Heinrich Burger was also a lawyer in Munich.
