Rick Burford is an anime voice actor known for his work in English-language dubs, primarily during the early 2000s. His most prominent and frequently cited role is providing the English voice for Kalos Eido in the anime series Kaleido Star. He first portrayed the character in the original Kaleido Star television series and reprised the role for Kaleido Star: New Wings, the second season, as well as for the OAV titled Kaleido Star: New Wings Extra Stage. In the original Japanese version of the series, the character Kalos Eido was voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.

Burford's career appears to have been concentrated around a few key productions, with his work on the Kaleido Star franchise being his most extensive. Episode credits for the second season confirm his recurring participation as Kalos Eido from episode twenty-seven through the series finale. This body of work placed him among a larger ensemble of English voice actors associated with ADV Films, a major dubbing studio of that era. On Kaleido Star, his castmates included Cynthia Martinez as the lead character Sora Naegino, along with Luci Christian, Jessica Boone, Tiffany Grant, Illich Guardiola, and Jason Douglas.

Beyond Kaleido Star, Burford's known voice roles are limited. His other credits include the role of Shinjyuu in the film Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness, Male Reporter A in Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, and Chin Yisou in the series Saiyûki. He also voiced the character Gabbing Soldier in the series Madlax and General Ho in Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick.
