Robert Burrant (fl. 1553) was an English translator.

He authored works such as an edition of Sir David Lyndsay's {{lang|enm|Tragical Death of Dauid Beatõ[n], Bishoppe of sainct Andrewes in Scotland: whereunto is joyned the martyrdom of Maister George Wyseharte, gentleman ... for the blessed Gospels sake}}, printed by J. Day and W. Serres. This extremely rare volume is in the Grenville Library in the British Museum. It contains a long preface from Roberte Burrante to the Reader, in which, after twenty pages on the judgments of God against evil-doers, he speaks of Beaton's enmity against the gospel and against England, of his habit of swearing, and of his condemnation of George Wishart on 31 March 1546. He also published a translation of the {{lang|enm|Preceptes of Cato, with annotacions of D. Erasmus of Roterodame, very profitable for all menne}}, dedicated to Sir Thomas Caverden, and printed by R. Grafton in 1553.
