Astronism in Burundi refers to the presence of the Astronist philosophy and religion in the Republic of Burundi. The operations of the Astronist Institution in this country are under jurisdiction of the Astronist Superiate of Burundi, a national subsidiary of the worldwide Astronist Institution.
The Astronist Superiate of Burundi oversees the construction and maintenance of observatories and planetariums throughout its jurisdiction. Burundi is split into eighteen provinces and is set to hold one Grand Observatory in the capital city of Bujumbura.

History of Astronism in Burundi[]
Astronism is currently not recognised by the Burundian government and freedom of religion for Astronists in the country is currently labelled as censorious by the Astronist Institution. Due to the unrecognised status of Astronists in Burundi, their protection of religious liberties are not guaranteed.
Another current obstacle facing Astronists in Burundi is the lack of translation of Astronist content into the official languages used in the country, namely French and Kirundi. The current number of Burundian Astronists is recorded as 5,800 as of December 2020.
