Gordon Wilfred Kuhrt (born 15 February 1941) is an Anglican priest and author. He was the Archdeacon of Lewisham from 1989 to 1996.

He is now retired, married to Olive Kuhrt and has 3 sons and 10 grandchildren.

Kuhrt was educated at Colfe's Grammar School, University of London and Middlesex University.^[1] He was ordained in 1967 and served curacies at Illogan and Wallington.^[2] He held incumbencies at St John the Baptist Shenstone and Emmanuel, South Croydon.

In his autobiographical book, Life's Not Always Easy, Kuhrt tells of his childhood. He was born in the Indian city of Madras during the Second World War, which prevented his parents from returning to England. He was born with clubbed feet, and then, still in India, he contracted poliomyelitis at the age of 15 months, which exacerbated his health issues. The family finally returned to England in January 1945, and were able to see Dr. Paul Brand, who then treated him at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, London. In 1946, his parents returned to India to the mission field, but were unable to take their son, owing to the ongoing treatment. For the next five years the young Gordon Kuhrt lived with foster parents, the Thorpes. He did not see his parents again until he was 10.^[3]

After attending Colfe's Grammar School, much interrupted by hospital treatment, he graduated with a degree in Theology from London University. He was then a schoolteacher for Religious education in a Comprehensive School.^[3]

Kuhrt was ordained in 1967 and served curacies at Illogan and Wallington.^[2] He held incumbencies at St John the Baptist Shenstone and Emmanuel, South Croydon. He was elected to the General Synod of the Church of England in 1986, and served on the Council for Ministry.
