Burke Mountain is a mountain located in the "Northeast Kingdom" of Vermont.The bulk of the mountain is in Caledonia County, but its southeast side is in Essex County. Like the town of Burke, the mountain is probably named after the British statesman, Edmund Burke (1729–1797).Burke Mountain is flanked to the east by Umpire Mountain.

Burke Mountain stands within the watershed of the Passumpsic River, a tributary of the Connecticut River, which drains into Long Island Sound in Connecticut.The northeast and northwest sides of Burke Mtn. drain into Dish Mill Brook, thence into East Branch of the Passumpsic River.The southwest end of Burke Mtn. drains into Mountain Brook, thence into the East Branch of the Passumpsic River.The south slopes and southeast side of Burke Mtn. drain into Weir Mill Brook, thence into Bog Brook, the Moose River, and the Passumpsic River.

Burke Mountain is within the Darling State Forest Park of Victory State Forest. The Burke Mountain Ski Area has been developed on the northwest slopes of the mountain.
