Joseph Anthony Burns (born 6 September 1989) is an Australian–Italian cricketer. He previously played for the Australia national cricket team, Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League and Queensland in Australian domestic cricket. In May 2024, he announced his move to Italy as a tribute for his late brother Dominic, who died in February 2024 and in the hopes of playing for Italy in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Under his leadership, the Italy national cricket team are set to make their maiden appearance in an ICC event in the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup.
