R. C. "Perry" Burke (born c.1920) is a former West Indies cricket umpire from Jamaica.[1] He stood in six Test matches between 1954 and 1960.[2] Overall, he umpired 14 first-class matches, all of them in Kingston, Jamaica, between 1948 and 1960.[3]
During England's tour to the West Indies in 1953–54, Burke gave John Holt out lbw in the first Test in Kingston. As a result, Burke's family was attacked in the crowd.[4]
Burke's father, Sam, was also an umpire.
Outside of cricket, Burke worked in a government printing office in Kingston.[5]
