Curtis Weston (born January 24, 1987 in Greenwich) is an English footballer, who plays for Leeds United. His last club was Swindon Town.

In only Weston's second appearance for Millwall's first team he became the youngest FA Cup Final player in history at the age of 17 years 119 days, coming on as a substitute against Manchester United during the 2004 FA Cup Final, beating the 125-year old record of James F. M. Prinsep. He was brought on to replace the then, player-manager Dennis Wise with one minute of normal time remaining. Curtis Weston moved to Swindon Town in July 2006 reuniting him with Dennis Wise. He was released by Swindon a year later.

Weston attended Erith Secondary School, and was spotted by a Millwall scout when playing for the school team. Weston was signed to Millwall's youth academy, after which he was not allowed to play for his school team again.

Weston signed a 2 year contract with Leeds United on August 7, 2007 and was reunited with Dennis Wise again. ^[1] He scored his first goal for the club in their 3-0 win over Northampton Town in January 2008.

Weston signed for Championship side Scunthorpe United on loan, in March 2008.
