Currys is a British electrical retailer and repairer operating in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, owned by Currys plc and selling and repairing home electronics and home appliances. Established as a bicycle retailer in 1927, Currys expanded the range of goods sold and from the 1960s became a major retailer of household electrical items. In 1984 the company was bought by rival retailer Dixons, and the Currys brand was used for all outlets of the combined company. From 2008, the business turned away from shops in town centres to larger out-of-town stores under the Currys PC World brand, combining the operations of Currys with Dixon's PC World under one roof; after the formation of Dixons Carphone in 2014, the stores gained Carphone Warehouse departments. By October 2021, all outlets rebranded as Currys.

Początki przedsiębiorstwa sięgają 1884 roku, kiedy to Henry Curry rozpoczął w szopie w swoim ogrodzie w Leicester produkcję rowerów. Cztery lata później Curry otworzył swój pierwszy sklep. W 1897 roku założył firmę H Curry & Sons sprzedającą obok rowerów, zabawki, radia oraz gramofony. W latach 60. XX wieku przedsiębiorstwo zakończyło produkcję i sprzedaż rowerów, skupiając się na sprzedaży artykułów elektronicznych. W 1984 roku Currys zostało wykupione przez przedsiębiorstwo Dixons Retail, do którego obecnie należy. Sieć sklepów Currys liczy 505 obiektów na terenie Wielkiej Brytanii (w tym 190 sklepów Currys.digital przejętych w 2006 roku od siostrzanej spółki ) oraz 9 sklepów w Irlandii.
