David Hunter (23 February 1860 – 11 January 1927)[1] was part of a lineage of Yorkshire County Cricket Club wicket-keepers, stretching on through Arthur Dolphin to Arthur Wood, Jimmy Binks and David Bairstow.

A modest right-handed tailend batsman, he compiled 4,538 runs at an average of 12.03, with a best of 58 not out against Worcestershire.

[1] He succeeded his brother Joe Hunter as the Yorkshire wicket-keeper at the relatively late age of 28, but was then an almost ever present player for the following two decades.

He was a doughty performer right up to the end of his career, making six catches in an innings, again against Surrey, at Headingley in his last year.

He helped Yorkshire win the County Championship eight times, and received £1,975 from his benefit in the Roses match against Lancashire at Bradford in 1897.
