Charles Curnow (born 3 February 1997) is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays as a key forward for the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played 149 games for Carlton between 2016 and 2025. Widely praised for his dominance and athleticism, Curnow is a two-time winner of the Coleman Medal, awarded to the leading goalkicker in the home-and-away season. He has been named in the All-Australian team twice, and was Carlton's leading goalkicker five times. Curnow was drafted by Carlton with the 12th pick in the 2015 national draft. After suffering multiple serious knee injuries that kept him sidelined for extended periods between 2019 and 2021, he made a successful comeback in 2022, re-establishing himself as one of the league's elite forwards before being traded to the Sydney Swans at the end of the 2025 season. His older brother, Ed Curnow, also played for Carlton.
