Old Burger Weeshuis is een voormalig weeshuis in de Nederlandse stad Sneek.

In 1580 vond in Friesland de reformatie plaats; katholieke kloosters werden opgeheven en hun bezit ging over in andere handen. Het Old Burger Weeshuis, dat in 1581 werd gesticht, kreeg het beheer over voormalige bezittingen van het kruisbroedersklooster Jerusalem, het vrouwenklooster Groendijk en het klooster Nazareth.

Tot 1854 had het weeshuis onderdak in het voormalig kruisbroedersklooster aan het Groot Zuidend (nu de Oude Koemarkt). In dat jaar werd door de Amsterdamse architect Israël Warnsinck een nieuw, neoclassicistisch gebouw neergezet. Vanaf 1870 werden er ook katholieke wezen in het weeshuis opgenomen.
