The Alice in Wonderland director is in early talks to bring the Ransom Briggs book to the big screen, reports Deadline.
Burton would direct and help to set a writer to adapt the children's novel.
Miss Peregrine centres around 16-year-old Jacob, who has grown up listening to his grandfather's stories of an orphanage where a group of remarkable children live.
When his grandfather dies, a chain of clues leads Jacob to an island off the coast of Wales where the remains of the orphanage and some of its very dangerous residents still reside.
Burton is currently working on Dark Shadows and a remake of his first ever short film Frankenweenie.
Dark Shadows opens on May 11, 2012 in UK and US cinemas, while Frankenweenie is due to be released in October 2012.
