Ralph James Dunnet Hunt AO (31 March 1928 – 22 May 2011) was a Deputy Leader of the National Party of Australia.
Hunt was born in Narrabri, New South Wales to an established farming and grazing family, which traditions he continued after completing his schooling at The Scots College, Sydney. His mother's family, the Dunnetts, owned the North Western Courier newspaper. He was a councillor of Boomi Shire Council from 1956 to 1968 and Vice-President from 1962 to 1968.
