Lieutenant Colonel Edmund Tytler Burke, DSO, MB, ChB (18 April 1888 - 14 June 1941) was a British doctor of medicine who fought in World War I and "was one of England's outstanding authorities on venereal diseases".[1]

Burke graduated from the University of Glasgow and was a member of the Special Reserve of the Royal Army Medical Corps from 1913. During his wartime service, he was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order and the Serbian Order of the White Eagle with Swords and was also mentioned in despatches.[3] When he finished his military service, he had attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
By the late 1930s, Burke was an assistant editor of the British Journal of Venereal Diseases,[4] Director of the Whitechapel Clinic (now the Ambrose King Centre), consultant venerologist and he had published papers in the British Medical Journal and elsewhere.[5] By the time of his death in 1942 (or shortly before), Burke had been Consultant Venereologist in the Public Health Department of the London County Council and Lecturer in Venereal Diseases in the London Hospital Medical College, University of London.[1]
