Charles Forrest Curry Jr. (August 13, 1893 – October 7, 1972) was an American lawyer and World War I veteran who served one term as a U.S. Representative from California from 1931 to 1933.

He was the son of Charles Forrest Curry.

Born in San Francisco, California, Curry attended the public schools Howe's Academy in Sacramento, California as well as George Washington University and Georgetown University School of Law, Washington, D.C.

During the First World War, Curry Jr. enlisted in the Aviation Section, Signal Enlisted Reserve Corps, on August 15, 1917. There, he was commissioned a second lieutenant and served until May 22, 1919, with overseas service.

He served as secretary to his father, Congressman Charles F. Curry from 1913 to 1917, then later as a clerk to the Committee on the Territories of House of Representatives from 1919 to 1930. In 1921, he was admitted to the bar.

Curry was elected as a Republican as a write-in candidate to the Seventy-second Congress (March 4, 1931 – March 3, 1933) following the death of his father, who was on the ballot. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1932 to the Seventy-third Congress.

After leaving Congress, Curry engaged in the practice of law and in mining and other business enterprises.
