Kurt Dahle is a Canadian musician best known for his work as a drummer with the rock bands Age of Electric, Limblifter, and The New Pornographers.

Born in Saskatchewan, Dahle first became known in Canadian music circles as a member of the band Age of Electric, along with his brother Ryan Dahle and another set of brothers, Todd Kerns and John Kerns. Age of Electric spawned a handful of minor hit singles in Canada, earning a Juno Award nomination for "Best New Artist" in 1998, nine years after the band was formed.

Kurt and brother Ryan began working on a side project, Limblifter, and released a self-titled album in 1996, which contained a trio of top-40 Canadian rock radio hits. After the dissolution of Age of Electric in 1999, Limblifter released a second album, Bellaclava in 2000. Kurt soon left the band to focus on his work with The New Pornographers, who gained much critical acclaim for their albums Mass Romantic (2000), Electric Version (2003), Twin Cinema (2005) and Challengers (2007).

Kurt also worked on albums by The Awkward Stage and The Choir Practice, both released with Mint Records. He was also the drummer for Bloody Chicletts and drummed on the majority of the tracks on the first solo record by Chris Walla, guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie, entitled Field Manual.

Kurt is an endorser of Ludwig drums, Dunnett Classic Drums, and Paiste cymbals.
