Karl Burns (born 19 March 1958) is a British musician best known as the drummer for The Fall, featuring in many incarnations of the band between 1977 and 1998.

Although several musicians have rejoined the Fall having previously left or been fired, Burns was reportedly rehired a record nine times. He eventually left for good, alongside long-time bassist Steve Hanley, following an on-stage altercation with lead singer Mark E. Smith in New York in April 1998.
