Kola Bernie Burger (born May 5, 1981 in Cape Town) is a South African-born Namibian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a left-arm medium-pace bowler.
He played with the Namibian cricket team during the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland in which they finished seventh. Generally speaking, Burger occupies the position of lower-middle-order batsman, contributing along with Ian van Zyl to a solid bowling attack.
In January 2008, Burger hit a career-best 74 in the ICC Inter-Continental Cup competition against the United Arab Emirates, and the following month, he hit his debut century, an innings of 100 in 57 balls, including seven fours and six sixes.
