Brian Lee Hunter (born March 25, 1971) is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball.

On April 28, during the 1999 season, he was traded to the Seattle Mariners for Andy Van Hekken and minor league outfielder Jerry Amador.

He again led the AL in stolen bases, this time with 44, in 1999, although his .232 batting average was the worst among qualified batters.

[2] On March 27, 2000, he was released by the Mariners, and four days later he signed with the Colorado Rockies,[4] who traded him to the Reds on August 6.

Because of his ability to steal bases, ESPN's Chris Berman nicknamed the outfielder, "Deer" Hunter.
