William mac Ulick Burke, 4th Clanricarde or Mac William Uachtar (Upper Mac William) ({{IPAc-en|lang|k|l|æ|n|'|r|ɪ|k|ɑːr|d}} {{respell|klan|RIK|ard}}; died 1430) was an Irish chieftain and noble.

Annals of the Four Masters

William succeeded his elder brother, Ulick an Fhiona Burke, as chieftain. William's era is one of the more obscure reigns of a Clanricarde. The Annals of the Four Masters have only two references to his term:
