Mario Omar Burke (born 18 March 1997) is a Barbadian sprinter. He currently attends the University of Houston.[1] Burke won a bronze medal in the 100 metres at 2016 World Junior Championships in Athletics.[3][4] On June 24, 2017, Burke won the 100 metres race at the Barbados National Championships.[2][5]

He opened his 2019 season with a world-leading time of 6.56 seconds in the 60 meters at the Red Raider Invite meet.[6][7] He went on to place second over the same distance at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships with a new personal best time of 6.55 s.

On June 5, 2019, at the NCAA Division I Championships, he became the second Barbadian to break the 10-second barrier with a legal time of 9.98 s.[8] He had previously broken the 10-second barrier with a 9.95 s clocking at the American Athletic Conference Championships a few weeks earlier, but the race was wind-assisted.
