Bartosz Kamil Kurek (born 29 August 1988) is a Polish volleyball player, a member of Poland men's national volleyball team and Polish club PGE Skra Bełchatów, a participant of the Olympic Games (London 2012, Rio 2016), 2009 European Champion, a gold medalist of the 2012 World League, a silver medalist of the 2011 World Cup, a bronze medalist of the 2011 World League, 2011 European Championship and 2015 World Cup, three-time Polish Champion (2009, 2010, 2011) and Italian Champion (2014).
Kurek began his career in a team from Nysa (2004–2005), where he played alongside his father. He then spent 3 years playing for a PlusLiga club, ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle (2005–2008).
In 2008, he moved to PGE Skra Bełchatów, one of the most successful teams in Polish PlusLiga, where he quickly became a key player. With PGE Skra he won the Polish Championship three times in 2008/2009, 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 and claimed a silver medal in 2011/2012. He won Polish Cup three times - in 2009, 2011 and 2012. He also has two silver medals of Club World Championships from 2009 and 2010. In 2010 PGE Skra Belchatów, with Bartosz Kurek, won the bronze medal of CEV Champions League. On March 18, 2012 PGE Skra won the silver medal of CEV Champions League after losing to Zenit Kazan in the final in Łódź, Poland. The final result was judged controversial by some, as the referee didn't see an error by a Russian player and ended the match despite the fact that the audience and the players saw the error on screen. Kurek received the award for Best Spiker of CEV Champions League 2011/2012.
