Laurin Curda (born 30 October 2001) is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bundesliga club Paderborn 07.
Curda came through the youth systems of VfB Stuttgart and 1899 Hoffenheim. In the 2022–23 season he won the Württemberg Cup with Regionalliga Südwest side TSG Balingen.
He left TSG Balingen in summer 2023 to join 2. Bundesliga club Paderborn 07. He had a good first season with Paderborn, making 20 appearances including 16 as a starter in the 2. Bundesliga.
Ahead of the 2024–25 season, Curda faced competition for a position in Paderborn's defence from Marcel Hoffmeier und Visar Musliu and new signings Felix Götze and Tjark Schelle. On 13 December 2025, he scored his first ever double in a 4–0 away win at Karlsruher SC. On 25 May 2026, he netted an extra-time goal in a 2–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg in the promotion play-offs, securing his club's promotion to the Bundesliga.
In September 2024, Paderborn manager Lukas Kwasniok highlighted Curda's strengths: "Laurin actually has everything a centre-back needs. He can dribble and head, he has power and pace. Laurin may not be a giant, but he's very stable. And he can play extremely well out the back.", naming "securing his own back" as a weakness of Curda.
