William George Curlin (born August 30, 1927) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Bishop of Charlotte from 1994 to 2002. His episcopal motto is "Sentire Cum Christo" ("To Think With Christ").
Following the election of George W. Bush, Curlin praised the President's opposition to abortion, saying, "He gives us hope. That's what's important today. You felt under the former administration that there was no hope as far as the sanctity of life issue."
