Burton Wendroff (Nova Iorque, 10 de março de 1930)[1] é um matemático estadunidense, que trabalha com equações diferenciais parciais, análise numérica e matemática aplicada.

Wendroff obteve o bacharelado em física e matemática na Universidade de Nova Iorque em 1951 e um mestrado em matemática no Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts em 1952. Trabalhou depois no Laboratório Nacional de Los Alamos, onde permaneceu durante o resto de sua carreira. Obteve um doutorado em 1958 na Universidade de Nova Iorque, orientado por Peter Lax, com a tese Finite Difference Approximations to Solutions of Partial Differential Equations.[2] De 1966 a 1974 foi professor na Universidade de Denver.

O método de Lax-Wendroff para a solução de equações diferenciais parciais hiperbólicas com o método das diferenças finitas é denominado em seu nome e de Lax.[3]
