Judy McBurney is an Australian actress famous for several television soap opera roles.

In 1974 McBurney was cast in the role of key new character Marilyn McDonald in "Number 96" but before any of her scenes had gone to air and with about 30 scenes in the can she had to withdraw from the role due to illness. This left her replacement, Frances Hargreaves, to reshoot all of Marilyn's scenes.

McBurney then went into the on-going role of plain-Jane secretary Jane Fowler in "The Box" in 1975-1976, and later played the brief role of Jodi in "Number 96" in late 1976.

Subsequent to this McBurney became immensely popular playing the part of nurse Tania Livingstone, love interest of at times Tony Garcia and Peter Holland, in "The Young Doctors". She played the role from 1977 until the series ended in 1982. She followed this with another popular character, that of breezy romantic Sandra Louise "Pixie" Mason in "Prisoner". She played Pixie on a recurring basis from 1983 until 1985. A spin-off sitcom based around the character was apparently once proposed, but never saw the light of day.

She has now more or less retired from acting.
