Ricarde Mór Burke, 9th Clanricarde or Mac William Uachtar ( klan-RIK-ard; died 1530) was an Irish chieftain and noble.
Burke was the second son of Ulick Fionn Burke, 6th Clanricarde (d.1509) and Slaine Ni Con Mara (Slany MacNamara), succeeding as chieftain in 1520 upon the death of his brother, Ulick Óge Burke, 8th Clanricarde (d.1520).[2]
In 1522 he was part of a confederation of Connacht forces that marched to Sligo to give battle to the O'Donnells, who were conquering north Connacht. However, the expedition fell apart without a fight after the failure of Conn Bacach O'Neill to defeat O'Donnell.
Burke married Margaret Butler, daughter to Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond (Ireland). He was succeeded by the grandson of his uncle Edmund (d.1466), John mac Richard Mór Burke, 10th Clanricarde (d.1536), who ruled till 1536.[3]
