Kevin Curran (born 19 December 1920) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1940s.

Curran was recruited to Hawthorn from Traralgon and played his first game with them in 1940.A rover, he made his debut in a game against Fitzroy but internal disputes over his selection ensured that it would be the only time he appeared in the season. Instead of staying on at Hawthorn he enlisted in the army, fighting against the Japanese in Dili.

In 1946 he made a return to Hawthorn and the following season represented Victoria at the Hobart carnival, the first on 9 interstate appearances during his career. He won Hawthorn's best and fairest award in 1948, also winning the Simpson Medal for his performance against West Australian in an interstate game. Curran captained Hawthorn for the 1950 season and his appointment saw a disgruntled Alec Albiston leave the club feeling he should have got the job.
