Burnopfield is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated north of Stanley, close to the River Derwent at NZ1756.

The popular Northamptonshire and England cricketer Colin Milburn was brought up in the village. Milburn hit 654 runs in 9 tests with an average of 46.71 in the 1960s, before the loss of an eye in a car accident cut short his career.

The famous court case, Miller v. Jackson, arose from cricket played by Lintz Cricket Club, in the neighbouring village of Lintz.
