Kirby: Canvas Curse, known in Europe as Kirby: Power Paintbrush, is a 2005 platform game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS.

Kirby: Canvas Curse does not play like a traditional Kirby game, as it solely requires the use of the stylus. A Wii U sequel, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, was released in 2015. The game was rereleased for the Wii U's Virtual Console in Europe and Australia in December 2015 (as Power Paintbrush in both regions), in Japan in February 2016, and in North America in October 2016.
