John Burrell or John Burel fl. 1590 was a Scottish poet and goldsmith. He was the author of a poetical description of Queen Anne s entry into Edinburgh in 1590, entitled The Description of the Queenis Maiesties most honourable entry into the town of Edinburgh . Among the title deeds of a small property at the foot of Todricks Wynd, Edinburgh, there was found a disposition of a house by John Burrel, goldsmith, yane of the printers in his majesties cunzie house king s mint in 1628.
