Jack Burke (born 12 June 1995) is a Canadian bicycle racer, ski mountaineer, author, and podcaster. He has been without a regular team since 2022, riding as an amateur but with support of sponsors.
After some victories as a junior, including a stage, and fourth overall at the 2013 Tour de l'Abitibi, Burke's career was disrupted by a positive drug test. The result of this was overturned in 2014 with Burke cleared of all wrongdoing.
Burke returned to cycling and competed with some success on various UCI Continental teams, including a stage win at the 2018 Tour de Beauce. In late 2022, Burke was hit by a car while training and sustained a broken back, bleeding on his brain and permanent scaring to his face. To help pay for his medical bills he started to write a training guide which turned into his first book How To Become A Pro Cyclist, which Burke subsequently developed into a podcast.
As well as traditional road racing, Burke has competed in other disciplines. He has twice won the ÃÂtztal Cycling Marathon, and competed in a 2024 event in the ski mountaineering World Cup in Cortina, having used the sport for winter training.
In 2024, Burke gained headlines for breaking Strava "King of the Mountain" times on prominent cycling climbs including the Mortirolo, the Stelvio, and L'Alpe d'Huez.
