Kurow
- Kurow is a small town in the Waitaki District
- The name is an Anglicised form of the Māori name of the nearby mountain, Te Kohurau
- In the 1920s, the town was the base for the building of the nearby Waitaki Dam and forming Lake Waitaki in the first of a series of hydroelectric projects on the Waitaki River.
- The first social security scheme for New Zealand workers was designed in the town, arising from Presbyterian Minister of Kurow Arnold Nordmeyer's experience of working with families of workers on the Waitaki hydro-electric project
