Robert Curran (14 September 1923 – 28 September 1995) was a Scottish nationalist political activist. Born in Alva, Clackmannanshire, Curran moved with his family to Canada in his childhood, but returned to study at Alva Academy. Working as a confectioner, he joined the Scottish National Party (SNP) in the early 1940s, and in 1944 was elected for the party to Alva Burgh Council. When only 25, he became the youngest provost in Scotland, and the first SNP provost anywhere in the country. During this time, he expressed a strong interest in Georgism.
