Caroline Critchfield Hunter (born c. 1971) is a former Republican member of the United States Federal Election Commission.

Hunter also served as deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison from January to October 2006.

Hunter was nominated to the Election Assistance Commission in 2006 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 15, 2007.

As President Donald Trump was being investigated by Congress for allegedly soliciting dirt on a political opponent from a foreign country in exchange for military aid, the then-Chair of the FEC, Ellen Weintraub, published a "Draft Interpretive Rule Concerning Prohibited Activities Involving Foreign Nationals"[5] on the FEC website.

According to Weintraub, Hunter objected to the inclusion of the draft in the FEC's public weekly digest of its actions, and blocked the publication of the weekly digest as a result, a move that Weintraub described as "altogether unprecedented".
