Sinan Kurt (born 23 July 1996) is a German footballer who plays for Hertha BSC and the German U19 national team as a midfielder.

Kurt was born in Mönchengladbach to a Turkish father and a German mother.

Kurt joined the youth setup at Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2007, progressing through the youth ranks until his promotion to Borussia Mönchengladbach II in 2014. In the years prior to his promotion, Kurt played for the Borussia B-Jugend, U-17 team, registering 31 goals and 21 assists in 52 games. Because of his good performances for the U-17 side, Kurt signed a developmental contract with Gladbach, intended to tie him to the club until 2016 at which point a professional contract would come into effect. For the 2013–14 season, Kurt played in Gladbach's U-19 team, where he scored 16 goals in 24 appearances. This led to his promotion to the second team and he made his professional debut against Viktoria Köln on 2 August 2014, replacing Marlon Ritter for the last 15 minutes of the 2–1 Regionalliga West match.

In late August 2014, it was reported that Bayern Munich were interested in signing the player and that Kurt wanted to make the move to Bayern. Gladbach officials refused to allow the player to leave before his contract expired in 2016. However the DFL ruled that since the contract was signed when Kurt was underage, 16, that it was not legally accepted and that Bayern were allowed to purchase the player.

On 31 August 2014, Bayern Munich confirmed that they had signed Kurt to a four-year contract. Kurt made his Bayern debut for the reserve team against SV Schalding-Heining on 17 October 2014. He made his debut for the first team in a 1–0 home win against Hertha BSC.
