* In ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', Evey gets in trouble with the [[Secret Police|Fingermen]] over prostitution. ''And'' curfew. [[Lighter and Softer|Toned down]] to just curfew in the film.

* Bluto and the Commodore had one over the town in ''[[Popeye]]''.

* In one ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' story, set when Robotnik was still ruler of Mobius, badniks started declaring new, asinine laws around a town, including a curfew set at a time that had already passed, meaning everyone broke the law retroactively.

 

 

* ''A City In Winter''—enforced by death, no less

** In contrast, Lord Vetinari dislikes curfews. They're bad for business.

* Occurred in ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Deathly Hallows''—just in Hogsmeade, though, as it's the only all-wizarding settlement (not for lack of trying on Voldemort's part).

 

* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S25/E02 The Happiness Patrol|The Happiness Patrol]]''.

** The episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S28/E05 Rise of the Cybermen|Rise of the Cybermen]]" shows a curfew in the parallel world, but no indication that there's anything wrong with the government.

* Mentioned as part of President Clark's declarations as he seizes power in ''[[Babylon 5]]''.

 

* In ''[http://misspentyouthgame.com/ Misspent Youth]'' by Robert Bohl, a game where you play a group of teenage anarchists out to change the world, the group creates Systems of Control that are sci-fi-ish details about the world that The Authority uses to mess with your lives. As in the real world, the authorities frequently use curfews to control children.
