Porl Thompson (born November 8, 1957) is an English musician best known for his work with The Cure.
Porl was part of the original lineup when the band was first formed in 1976, however, he was dropped by the time they began producing their debut album, Three Imaginary Boys in 1978. He rejoined the band in 1984 on saxophone, and helped produce the album The Top. Afterwards, he took up lead guitar for the next four albums Head On The Door, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Disintegration, and Wish.
