Nathan Burns (born May 7th 1988 in Blayney, New South Wales) is an Australian football (soccer) player who currently plays as a forward for Adelaide United FC.

He competed for national U-17 squad, the Joeys, at 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Peru. He formerly played for Parramatta Eagles and trained at the A.I.S.

After a few substitute appearances for Adelaide United, Burns finally got his first start against Sydney FC scoring his first A-League goal in the 4-1 loss.

He scored his first goal for the Young Socceroos in the AFC Youth Cup in a 3-1 win over Thailand.

He scored his first hat-trick whilst playing for Adelaide United FC against the Central Coast Mariners on the 21st of January, 2007 - giving his side a 2nd place finish on the league table to close out the 2nd Hyundai A-League season.

Despite being primarily a forward, he has shown great versatility of late by impressing in wide and central midfield positions. His creaivity and skill has made him a firm favourite with the Adelaide fans and much is expected of him in the future.
