Richard Bacach Burke, 11th Clanricarde or Mac William Uachtar (English: /klænˈrɪkɑːrd/ klan-RIK-ard; died 1538) was an Irish chieftain and noble who was the ancestor of the Burkes of County Galway.

Burke was a son of Ulick Fionn Burke, 6th Clanricarde (d.1509). He succeeded his cousin's son, John mac Richard Mór Burke, 10th Clanricarde, as chieftain in 1538. Richard was deposed in 1538 by his nephew, Ulick na gCeann Burke, 12th Clanricarde (d.1544).^[2]

All subsequent chiefs of the Galway Burkes and Earls of Clanricarde would descend from Ulick, while Richard Bachach's descendants disappeared into obscurity.
