Curtis L. "Curt" Pringle (born June 27, 1959) is a politician from the U.S. state of California. He is the last Republican to serve as the Speaker of the California State Assembly and is also the longest-serving Republican Speaker in the last years.

==Early political career==
As a young man, Pringle ran, unsuccessfully, three times for a seat on the Garden Grove City Council. In 1986, while working for his parents' drapery business, Pringle was elected to the Orange County Republican Central Committee, which is the controlling organ of the county Republican Party. In 1988, the Republican nominee for Pringle's Assembly district, freshman incumbent Assemblyman Dick Longshore, died the day after the June primary election, and under California law the central committee members were charged with selecting a replacement. They chose Pringle.
In his first campaign for the state assembly, the OC Republican Party hired a security guard firm to protect against illegal voting by undocumented aliens.Some claimed this was an effort to scare Hispanic voters. The FBI investigated and although no charges were filed Pringle and the local GOP agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a lawsuit. Articles about this issue appeared in the LA Times, October 1998.
