Burravoe er et lokalsamfund på den nordlige bred af Burra Voe, i den sydøstlige del af øen Yell på Shetlandsøerne, Skotland.
Navnet Burravoe er afledt af det oldnordiske Borgavágr, som betyder broch-bugt.[1][2]
Den mest bemærkelsesværdige bygning er Old Haa Museum, som stammer fra 1637 (og kan være blevet færdiggjort i 1672) og er det ældste hus på Yell.[3][4]
Den 19. januar 1942 styrtede et Catalina-fly ned på bakken over Burravoe. Syv af de ti besætningsmedlemmer blev dræbt, og en af propelbladene kan ses udenfor Old Haa Museum.[5]
