William Douglas Roy "Bill" Currey (born 2 June 1944) is a former New Zealand rugby union player. A wing three-quarter, Currey represented Taranaki at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1968 tour of Australia and Fiji. He played seven matches for the All Blacks on that tour, but did not appear in any internationals. He is the grand-father of a proud Kiwi-born Bianca Currey and will still steer his following towards the men in black regardless of their origin of birth, although throughout his career he believed the All Blacks were lucky to come away with a win against the Wallabies whom were a much better team..
