Il Burnley Football Club, noto semplicemente come Burnley, è una società calcistica inglese con sede nella città di Burnley, nella contea del Lancashire, militante in Premier League (prima divisione inglese). Costituito nel 1882, il club fu uno dei membri fondatori della Football League nel 1888. Dal 1883 disputa le proprie partite interne allo stadio Turf Moor.
Il Burnley ha vinto due volte la First Division (1920-1921 e 1959-1960), una volta la FA Cup (1913-1914) e due volte il Charity Shield (1960 e 1973). Insieme al Preston North End e al Wolverhampton Wanderers, è una delle sole tre squadre ad aver vinto almeno una volta tutte le prime quattro maggiori divisioni calcistiche professionistiche inglesi. A livello internazionale, il club ha raggiunto come suo miglior risultato i quarti di finale della Coppa dei Campioni nella stagione 1960-1961.
Il Burnley ha trascorso la maggior parte della propria storia tra la prima e la seconda divisione inglese, ma è rimasta fuori dalla massima serie dal 1976 al 2009. Dal 1985 al 1992 ha militato per alcuni anni nella divisione minore della Football League, evitando per poco la retrocessione nella Conference nel 1987.

Turf Moor is a football stadium in Burnley, Lancashire, England. It is the home ground of Premier League side Burnley Football Club, who have played there since moving from its Calder Vale ground in 1883. The stadium, which is situated on Harry Potts Way, named so after the club's longest serving Manager, has a capacity of 21,401, all seated. It was one of the last remaining stadiums in England to have the players' tunnel and dressing rooms behind one of the goals, until it was covered for seating in time for the 2014-15 Premier League season and rebuilt between the David Fishwick and James Hargreaves stand. The ground originally consisted of just a pitch and the first grandstand was not built until 1885. Six years after this, the "Star" stand was erected and terracing was later added to the ends of the ground. After the Second World War, the stadium was redeveloped with all four stands being rebuilt. During the 1990s, the ground underwent further refurbishment when the Longside and Bee Hole End terraces were replaced by all-seater stands. Currently, the four stands at Turf Moor are the James Hargreaves Stand, the Jimmy McIlroy Stand, the Bob Lord Stand and the Cricket Field Stand.
Burnley played their first match at the ground on 17 February 1883, losing 3–6 to local side Rawtenstall. When Prince Albert Victor opened a new hospital in Burnley in 1886, Turf Moor became the first football ground to be visited by a member of the British Royal Family. The first Football League match at the ground took place on 6 October 1888, with Fred Poland scoring the first competitive goal at the stadium. The record attendance at Turf Moor was set in 1924 when 54,755 people attended an FA Cup tie between Burnley and Huddersfield Town. In the same year, Turf Moor hosted its only FA Cup semi-final to date. In 1927, the stadium was the venue of an international match between England and Wales. Since then, the ground has been used to host matches in the European Under-19 Championship and European Under-21 Championship fixtures.
In 2007, plans for expansion of Turf Moor were released to the public. The Burnley directors proposed a major development of the stadium, costing £20 million. The plans, which would incorporate the rebuilding of the Cricket Field Stand and the moving of the players' entrance tunnel, have been put on hold until the current financial climate improves. In 2009, following Burnley's promotion to the Premier League, the development of a second tier on the Bob Lord stand was announced. Director Paul Fletcher stated that the anticipated capacity of Turf Moor would eventually be 28,000 to cope with extra fans. However following the club's relegation from the Premier League in 2010, these plans were put on hold indefinitely.
After again achieving promotion to the Premier League in 2014 further Ground renovations were undertaken to comply with new regulations include housing for International Media, relocation of the players tunnel and upgrades to seating in the David Fishwick Stand for away supporters. On 26 June 2014 the club unveiled a planning application for extensions to the Turf Moor front entrance including the rebuilding of the official Club Shop containing a first floor museum.
