Kurt Ahrens Jr. (born April 19, 1940 in Braunschweig, Germany) is a former sports car racing and touring car racing driver who occasionally appeared in German Grand Prix Formula One races.

His father, Kurt Ahrens Sr., was a German Speedway champion.

Kurt Ahrens Jr. started in 1958 with Formula 3 and won the German Formula Junior title in 1961 and 1963. He then raced Formula 2 and was present when Jim Clark was killed at the Hockenheimring in 1968.

Kurt joined also the Porsche factory sports car team and shared victory with Jo Siffert in the 1969 Austrian 1000km event. The following year he partnered with Vic Elford to win the 1970 1000km Nürburgring. He retired in 1971.

Due to the long Nürburgring track, it was possible to take part in the German Grand Prix in Formula 2 cars. He participated mostly with Brabhams for the Caltex Racing team.
