William Burns (1907 – after 1931) was a footballer who played in the Football League for Stockport County and Stoke City.
Career
Burns was born in Durham and played for Crook Town before joining Stoke in 1930. He scored twice on his debut against Preston North End but was never given a chance by Tom Mather and left for Stockport County at the end of the 1930–31 season.
