Treylon Burks (born March 23, 2000) is an American professional football wide receiver for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks and was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

Burks was born on March 23, 2000, in Flint, Michigan and grew up in Warren, Arkansas. He attended Warren High School, where he played wide receiver for their football team and totaled 151 receptions for 3,403 yards and 43 touchdowns. Burks missed most of his senior season in 2018 after suffering a torn ACL. On July 30, 2018, he committed to the University of Arkansas to play college football. Burks was a four-star recruit and was the 103rd ranked recruit in the nation, and the number one recruit in Arkansas. He also played basketball and baseball in high school.

As a true freshman at Arkansas in 2019, Burks started nine of 11 games and recorded 29 receptions for 475 yards. He was named 2nd Team All-SEC as a return specialist by the coaches and was placed on the SEC All-Freshman team.

As a sophomore in 2020, Burks became Arkansas' number one receiver. He finished the season with 51 receptions for 820 yards and seven touchdowns despite starting only eight games. Burks was named 2nd Team All-SEC by the AP and Coaches.

As a junior in 2021, Burks started all 12 games and finished with 66 receptions for 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns, becoming only the fourth player in program history with over 1,000 yards receiving in a single season. He also had 14 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown. Burks was named 1st Team All-SEC by the AP and the Coaches. Arkansas would finish the regular season 8–4, 4–4 in SEC play, and was invited to play Penn State in the 2022 Outback Bowl on New Year's Day in Tampa.

Burks decided to forgo participation in the Outback Bowl and also skip his senior season, declaring his intentions to enter the 2022 NFL draft.

Burks was drafted 18th overall by the Tennessee Titans in 2022. To obtain the draft pick from the Philadelphia Eagles, Tennessee traded away receiver A. J. Brown and also received a third-round pick in 2023, a move that was highly criticized.

Burks suffered turf toe in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts and was placed on injured reserve on October 8, 2022. He was activated from injured reserve on November 12. During a Week 11 27–17 road victory over the Green Bay Packers, Burks was the leading receiver with seven receptions for 111 yards. In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had four receptions for 70 yards and scored his first NFL touchdown on an unusual fumble recovery in the endzone during the 20–16 loss. The following week against the Philadelphia Eagles, Burks scored his first professional receiving touchdown on a 25-yard reception in the 35–10 road loss.
