Curtis Charles "Curt" Stone (November 19, 1922 – July 30, 2021) was an American long-distance runner.

During World War II, beginning in 1943, Stone served in Europe with the 95th Air Base Wing, a unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces that was based at RAF Horham in England, working for one and a half years as a finance clerk.

[3] During the 3,000 m steeplechase at the 1951 Pan American Games, Stone was easily ahead but slowed on the final straightaway to allow teammate Browning Ross to catch up.

Argentine officials debated whether to disqualify the pair for helping each other, but ultimately let the results stand, ranking Stone as first after a close examination of the finish photograph.

[6] Stone died on July 30, 2021, at The KentRidge Senior Living in Kent, Ohio, at the age of 98.
