Kurt-Lee Arendse (born (1996-06-17)17 June 1996) is a South African rugby sevens player for the South Africa national team, where his regular position is a back, and a rugby union player for the Bulls in Super Rugby.

He attended Paulus Joubert Secondary School in Paarl, where he earned a selection into the Boland Cavaliers' sevens team that competed at the 2014 SARU Under-18 Sevens competition.[1] He progressed through the youth ranks in rugby union, playing in several national junior competitions — he played for Western Province U19 in the 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship, for Boland U20 in the 2016 Under-20 Provincial Championship and for Western Province U21 in the 2017 Under-21 Provincial Championship.

He was named as the MVP at the 2018 Varsity Cup Sevens tournament,[2] and joined the South African Rugby Sevens Academy in December 2018.[2] After playing for UWC in the 2019 Varsity Cup, Arendse was named in the Blitzboks squad for the Vancouver Sevens,[3] and he made his debut in their 31–12 Cup semi-final victory over Fiji.[4] He was an unused replacement in the final,[5] which South Africa won, beating France 21–12.

In 2020, with no seven tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he joined the Pretoria Bulls franchise where he immediately made an impact.[6]
