Kevin Malcolm Curran (7 September 1959 – 10 October 2012) was a Zimbabwean international cricketer.
Born in Rusape, Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, he played in both the 1983 and 1987 Cricket World Cup. He was also a Zimbabwean cricket coach from August 2005 to September 2007. At the time of his death, he was head of the Zimbabwe Cricket Academy.
A genuine all-rounder, Curran was a right arm medium-fast bowler and right-handed middle order batsman. He was a regular in English county cricket for Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire in the 1980s, and passed 1000 runs in a season five times. He also played in South Africa for both Boland and Natal.
The Surrey cricketers Tom Curran and Sam Curran are his sons, as is Ben Curran, who plays for MCC Young Cricketers.

Curran collapsed while jogging in Mutare and died shortly thereafter on 10 October 2012, aged 53.
