Herbert Hadley Burry (February 7, 1906 – July 13, 1999) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played four games in the National Hockey League with the Ottawa Senators during the 1932–33 season. Born in Toronto, Ontario, he married Louise Mildred Taylor in 1927. After he retired from hockey, Burry was an avid pilot and the owner of McMurray Air Service, with headquarters in Uranium City, Saskatchewan."When Business Slumped Burry Turned Eyes Northward" Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. Apr. 25, 1961 (pg. 14).

He later worked for the Canadian government with its Polar Continental Shelf project as director of the Polar Shelf air supply program."A hot midnight sun sets mammoth ice islands afloat", Chronicle Telegram (Elyria, Ohio, United States Of America). Jan.5, 1963. In May 1961, Burry, and a team of scientists were missing for two days when their Otter aircraft, bound for an Arctic research project, crashed after relaying a distress signal. The men were located later by a civilian aircraft near Ellef Ringnes Island."Missing Two Days, Four Safe" Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. May 1, 1961 (pg. 1). In March 1962, Burry's aircraft again, this time a Beechcraft, went missing on a flight from Cambridge Bay, Northwest Territories to Uranium City, piloted by Captain Ken Moore. He reported that they were forced to make an emergency landing after running out of fuel during the flight, which was also complicated by a snowstorm."Five aircraft in N.W.T. search" The Leader-Post (Regina, Saskatchewan). Mar. 27, 1962 (pg. 1). The Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal Canadian Mounted Police participated in search efforts."Aircraft search continues" Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. Mar. 27, 1962 (pg. 2). In 1965, Burry was still in the airline industry, this time serving as vice president of NorCanAir."Executives Want to Buy Airline" Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. Jan. 15, 1965 (pg. 2).

In 1994, Burry was residing in Sidney, British Columbia.
