Kurt Wright (born February 7, 1956) is an American Republican politician who was elected and served in the Vermont House of Representatives. He also served as president of the Burlington City Council.[2][3] He represented the Chittenden-3-1 Representative District.

He represented a liberal leaning district. Wright retired from politics and his tenure ended on the council on April 1, 2020; he was succeeded by Democrat Sarah E. Carpenter.[4][5]
