Liam Burns (born October 30, 1978) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who currently plays as a central defender for Bohemian F.C. in the Eircom League. He has represented Northern Ireland at Under-21 level.

Burns was born in Belfast, but began his career in England as a trainee with Port Vale. He went on to play for Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury Town, Kidderminster Harriers and Forest Green Rovers (who he signed for on non-contract terms in January 2005[1]) before returning to Ireland.

He played for Sligo Rovers winning the First Division in 2005 and helped them to a 5th place finish in their first season in the Premier Division.

When Sean Connor left Sligo for Bohemians at the end of the 2006 season, Liam soon followed him to Dalymount Park and has been a regular in the first XI. He netted his first goal for Bohs against his former club Sligo on March 21, 2008 in a 2-1 win.
