Claudia Inés Burkart (born 22 February 1980, in Buenos Aires[1]) is an Argentine field hockey player who won the bronze medal with the national team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Claudia has also won two World Cups (2002, 2010), four Champions Trophy (2001, 2008, 2009, 2010), two gold medals at the Pan American Games (2003, 2007) and two Pan American Cups.

She first retired from the national team in 2010, but because of the big changes in the 2015 squad, Santiago Capurro called her in again to bring an experienced player to the team. Despite this, she was injured before competing for 2014–15 Women's FIH Hockey World League Final and was not able to compete.
