Rick Burgess (born October 3, 1964 in Oxford, Calhoun County) is a radio morning show personality, and is one-half of the nationally-syndicated Rick & Bubba Show which broadcasts from studios in the Vestavia Hills City Center and locally on its flagship station WZZK.

Burgess was active in football at Oxford High School, where his father was the football coach. He then went to Jacksonville State University and worked at the college's radio station.

Burgess' friend at the JSU station, Bill Bussey, got a job as engineer for WQEN in Gadsden and recommended Burgess to be the station's morning show personality. The two began to work together to come up with ideas for the show. Eventually, they teamed up on-air and the Rick & Bubba Show was born. It moved to Birmingham in 1998 to become nationally syndicated.

Burgess is married to Sherri Burgess. They lost their 2-year-old son Bronner on January 19, 2008 in a drowning accident.
