Dick van Burik (born 29 November 1973) is a retired Dutch professional footballer who played as a central defender.[1]

Born in Utrecht, Van Burik played in the Eredivisie with AFC Ajax, NAC Breda and FC Utrecht.

However, he would be best known for a 10-year stint with German Bundesliga outfit Hertha BSC, where he would be a defensive mainstay for a side that participated in five UEFA Cup editions and the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League (as a result of a third league place in 1998–99, with Van Burik subsequently appearing in ten Champions League contests, as Hertha reached the second group stage).

Van Burik retired in June 2007.

He was assistant manager at SC Heerenveen from February to June 2010.[2]
