Kevin Curren, né le 2 mars 1958 à Durban en Afrique du Sud, est un joueur de tennis naturalisé américain.

Sa meilleure surface était le gazon car il possédait un service redoutable qui lui a notamment permis d'atteindre la finale à l'Open d'Australie en 1984 et à Wimbledon en 1985. Cette année-là, il bat deux légendes du tennis, Jimmy Connors et John McEnroe, avant de s'incliner en finale face à un jeune Allemand de 17 ans : Boris Becker.

Il est devenu plus tard capitaine de l'équipe sud-africaine de Coupe Davis.
