The Lethbridge Curling Club is an historic curling club located in Lethbridge, Alberta.

The club is one of the oldest in Alberta, being founded in 1887. Back then, the club played on ponds and sloughs. A two-sheet club was set up in 1895 in the area of 4th St. and 1st Ave S. Until 1904, the club was affiliated with the Manitoba branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. Alberta was not yet a province at the time. In 1910, the club was expanded to four sheets and moved to the corner of 13th St. and 4th Ave. S. The Club moved to its current location at 911 6th Ave. S. in 1950. The club currently has 10 sheets, among the largest in Canada. The club is connected to the Civic Ice Centre, which is home to the Lethbridge Figure Skating Club.

The club is home to three provincial women's teams, one of which won the Canadian championship. Myrna McQuarrie's rink won the provincial and Canadian national championship in 1977. She won another provincial title in 1979. Barbara Davis won the provincial championship in 1980.

Skip Nanette Dupont won the 2010 Dominion Curling Club Championships for the club.
