Randy Burns (born Randall R. Burns on 14 April 1948) is an American folk singer, songwriter and guitarist. He recorded a number of albums from the mid-1960s under his own name and with a band as Randy Burns and the Sky Dog Band. He has continued to perform and record occasionally.

Burns's career began in the Connecticut and New York folk coffee house scene of the mid-1960s, including New Haven's Exit and Greenwich Village's Gaslight. From a start covering traditional material and songs by writers including Eric Andersen and Tom Ghent, he soon moved on to his own song-writing and to fronting bands called "The Morning" and Randy Burns and the Sky Dog Band. He recorded for ESP, Mercury and Polydor in the late '60s and early '70s.

In the late 1970s, Burns relocated to Dublin, Ireland, for two years, continuing to perform in bars. After returning to the US, he released the cassette-only album The Cat's Pajamas in 1991 on his own Picket Fence label.

He began performing again in 2009, and released an album, The Simple Things. This was followed, in 2010, by Hobos and Kings.
