Burke St John Trend, Baron Trend (2 January 1914 – 21 July 1987)〔〕 was a British civil servant and later Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford. Trend was educated at Whitgift School and Merton College, Oxford, where he obtained first class honours in classics. He then joined the Civil Service, spending most of his career in the Treasury.

He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1955 New Year Honours, promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) in the 1962 Birthday Honours and a Knight Grand Cross in the 1968 New Year Honours.
