William Joseph Burns (born April 11, 1956) is an American politician. Burns is the 8th Director of the Central Intelligence Agency since March 19, 2021 during the Joe Biden administration. He was President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.[1] He was United States Deputy Secretary of State from 2011 to 2014.

He was Ambassador of the United States to Jordan from 1998 to 2001, Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs from 2001 to 2005, Ambassador of the United States to the Russian Federation from 2005 to 2008, and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 2008 to 2011.[2]

On January 11, 2021, President-elect Joe Biden nominated him to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.[3] On March 18, 2021 the United States Senate confirmed his nomination.[4]

In July 2023, Biden elevated Burns to a position in his cabinet, a largely symbolic action.[5]
