John Lang Currie (17 November 1818 – 11 March 1898), Australian pastoralist, was born in Selkirkshire, Scotland, and migrated to the Port Phillip district (later Victoria in 1841. By borrowing money from his family he was able to buy the 129.50 km² Larra run near Camperdown in the Western District, and 1500 sheep, for 750 pounds. In 1844 he began his stud with Saxon merinos from Van Diemen's Land, then bought sheep from John Macarthur's flock at Camden, New South Wales. After a difficulty start he prospered as a sheep breeder and wool-grower.
