Raetia Curiensis (in Latin; German: Churrätien, Romansh: Currezia) was an Early medieval province in Central Europe, named after the preceding Roman province of Raetia prima which retained its Romansh culture during the Migration Period, while the adjacent territories in the north were largely settled by Alemannic tribes. The administrative capital was Chur (Curia Raetorum) in the present Swiss canton of Grisons.

The territory of the province roughly corresponded to modern Grisons (without the southern Misox and Puschlav valleys), plus Liechtenstein, parts of Vorarlberg (the Ill valley with Feldkirch, Damüls, Großwalsertal, and Montafon), as well as the Alpine Rhine valley in the Canton of St. Gallen and adjacent Sarganserland. Until the 12th century, also the Vinschgau region, the Urseren valley, and possibly Galtür and either parts or all of Glarus belonged to Raetia Curiensis.
