Balfour Watson Currie, CC FRSC (November 1, 1902 – January 8, 1981) was a Canadian scientist specializing in the fields of meteorology and climatology.

His parents moved to a farm homestead at Netherhill, near Kindersley, in the west central region of the province.

During this period, he also pursued an earlier research interest in the possible influence of solar activity on prairie weather and rainfall.

An online archive of Currie's work on 2nd IPY studies of the Polar Year data continued under his direction at the University of Saskatchewan after World War II.

[2] In 1972, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada "for his services to science and education especially in the fields of meteorology and climatology".
