Arthur Walter Burks (October 13, 1915 - May 14, 2008) was an American mathematician who worked in the 1940s as a senior engineer on the project that produced ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. He and his wife Alice Burks later argued that the subject matter of ENIAC had been derived from John Vincent Atanasoff, and he was for several decades a faculty member at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
