Burt was a saltwater crocodile that starred in the 1986 film Crocodile Dundee. He died in December 2024, estimated to be at least 90 years old.

Burt was named for Burt Reynolds, and was cast in Crocodile Dundee a few years after being captured in the wild. From 2008, he lived at Crocosaurus Cove, a crocodile sanctuary in Darwin, where he attempted to predict election results. Staff there noted his "fiery temperament". He died at Crocosaurus Cove on the weekend of December 21–22, 2024.
