Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox Australian place Burakin is a small town near Kalannie in the eastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The townsite was gazetted in 1928.[1] The name is an Aboriginal word of unknown meaning, and was suggested by the Wongan Hills Road Board in 1927. The original spelling was to have been Borrikin.[2]

Burakin is the junction for the branch railway line to Bonnie Rock. The line was completed on 27 April 1931, but services beyond Beacon were withdrawn from late 1997.[3]

In 2000 and 2001 Burakin was the epicentre of a series of earthquakes now known as the Burakin Swarm – a significant series of seismographic events that are considered important in understanding the South West Seismic Zone.[4][5]
