Ryan James Burge (born 12 October 1988) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder in the English Football League and National League.

He started his professional career under contract at Birmingham City, Barnet and Japanese side Machida Zelvia. He joined the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain in the summer of 2009. From there, he was sent out to Worcester City, Jerez Industrial, Doncaster Rovers, and Oxford United to gain first-team experience. In June 2011, he signed with Port Vale via Hyde (partners of the Hoddle Academy). He left Port Vale in April 2013 after falling out with the club's management and signed with Newport County for the 2013–14 season. After over 18 months out of the game, he signed with Sutton United in February 2016, helping the club to win promotion as champions of National League South at the end of the 2015–16 season, he left the club in December 2016 and joined Eastleigh for a brief spell four months later.
