Walter Noble Burns (October 24, 1866 – April 15, 1932) was a writer of Western history. He was notable for his books, especially his best-selling, The Saga of Billy the Kid (1926). Burns' books helped create the legends and perpetuate the fame of Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Joaquin Murietta. Biographer Dworkin called him "America's premier romantic outlaw lawman mythmaker."
