Suzanne Birt (born October 2, 1981 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian curler from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Birt, a skip, is a two-time Canadian Junior Champion (2001, 2002) and a former World Junior Curling Champion (2001). She also won a silver medal at the 1995 Canada Games.
Birt had attended the 1998, 1999, and 2000 Canadian Juniors before finally winning it.
At the 2001 World Juniors, she defeated Matilda Mattsson's Swedish rink for the gold. However, the following year she would only win the bronze.
In 2003, Birt qualified for the Scott Tournament of Hearts for the first time. Her team had an impressive tournament, going 10–1 in the round-robin only to lose both their playoff games. The next year she failed expectations, and her team finished 2–9 at the 2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts. In 2005, she lost in her provincial playdowns but returned to the Scotts in 2006. At the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Birt's rink finished 4–7, and at the 2007 tournament, they finished 6–5. They did make the playoffs, but lost to Manitoba skipped by Jennifer Jones in the 3–4 game. Birt played in her 5th Hearts in 2008, finishing with a 3–8 record. Upon her return to the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, this time in her hometown of Charlottetown, Birt and her team were hoping to build on the momentum left by the defending PEI Champions, headed by Kathy O'Rourke, who made it to the final of the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Unfortunately Birt would have a tough time, finishing with a 6–5 record.
