Ulick an Fhiona Burke, 3rd Clanricarde or Mac William Uachtar (English: /ˈjuːlɪk/; English: /klænˈrɪkɑːrd/; YOO-lik; klan-RIK-ard; died 1424) was an Irish chieftain and noble who was nicknamed an Fhiona (meaning of the wine).[2]

Ulick became chieftain on the death of this father, Richard Óg Burke, 2nd Clanricarde (d.1387). Ulick died in 1424, and was succeeded by his brother, William mac Ulick Burke, 4th Clanricarde (d.1430). On the latter's death, Ulick's son, Ulick Ruadh Burke (d.1485), became the 5th Clanricarde.
