Kurt Thomas Baker (born 7 October 1988) is a New Zealand rugby union player. He plays in the fullback, wing and at centre positions for Italian club Zebre in the Pro 12. He played for the Māori All Blacks and was a New Zealand Sevens representative, having played in 22 Sevens World Series tournaments, a Rugby Sevens World Cup and featured in Gordon Tietjens squad to take part at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Upon leaving school, Baker was contracted by the Manawatu Rugby Union. In his second year out of school he was a part of Manawatu's 2008 national provincial championship squad. He was spotted by coach Dave Rennie and had signed with Manawatu at just 20-years-old. Baker made his debut for Manawatu in the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup competition, coming on as a replacement against Auckland in a Ranfurly Shield match. He went on and made his starting debut against Wellington whilst also scoring his first professional rugby union try.
Returning to Manawatu for the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup, Baker scored three tries, the province's second top try scorer of the year along with three fellow players. He also was suspended from all rugby for eight weeks after allegedly verbally abusing assistant referee Zarne Johnson in an competition match between Hawke's Bay and Manawatu. Baker was also charged with allegedly threatening Johnson.
