Karel Čurda (10 October 1911 - 29 April 1947) was a Czech resistance fighter who later became a Nazi collaborator during World War II.

A soldier of the Czechoslovak army in exile, Čurda was parachuted into the protectorate in 1942 as a member of the sabotage group Out Distance.

Later that year, he betrayed the Czechoslovak army agents responsible for the assassination of top Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich in Prague.

He married a German woman and spent the rest of the war as a Gestapo collaborator.
