Sir Thomas Burke, 3rd Baronet
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Sir Thomas John Burke, 3rd Baronet DL (7 June 1813 – 9 December 1875) was an Irish landowner and politician from County Galway.
Born at Marble Hill, he sat as an independent liberal Member of Parliament for the Galway County for eighteen years. His father, John Burke, was MP for the same constituency from 1830 to 1832.
Sometime a Captain in the 1st Royals, he was best known for his love of sport, and his connection with horse racing is preserved through the Marble Hill Stakes annually run for at the Curragh. He has been described as "a genial, handsome man, exceedingly popular with the country people, but by no means as prudent and business like as his father". He married Lady Mary Nugent, daughter of Anthony Nugent, 9th Earl of Westmeath.
