Stefan Burkart (9 December 1957 – 3 May 2020) was a Swiss sprinter and sports coach who specialised in the 60 metres and 100 metres. His personal bests of 6.61 seconds and 10.32 seconds are former Swiss records for the events.
He competed for Switzerland at the Summer Olympics in 1992 and 1996 – at the latter edition he became the oldest ever sprinter to compete in the men's 100 metres at the Olympics. He represented his country at the European Athletics Championships on three occasions (1982, 1990 and 1994) and also ran at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics. He had his best international performances indoors, reaching the semi-finals at the 1985 IAAF World Indoor Games and at the 1986 European Athletics Indoor Championships (in his career he raced twice more at the latter competition).
In the mid-1990s he moved towards bobsleigh and competed in European and World level events. As a coach he led three athletes to Winter Olympics medals: Thomas Lamparter, Martin Annen, and Gregor Stähli.
