Henry Hunt (16 October 1923 – 13 March 1985) was a First Nations woodcarver and artist from the Kwakwaka'wakw (formerly "Kwakiutl") people of coastal British Columbia.

Hunt took the post of Martin's chief assistant in the Thunderbird Park at the British Columbia Provincial Museum.

[4][2] Henry Hunt trained his sons, Tony, Stanley and Richard, in the art of carving; all of them went on to establish careers as carvers.

Henry Hunt remained at the museum for over 20 years until he retired in 1974, and his son Richard took over as Master Carver in the Thunderbird Park carving program.

[10] Hunt produced many smaller works including small presentation poles (approximately 45 cm long) which were presented as gifts to visiting heads of state and dignitaries; recipients have included prime minister Lester Pearson, US President Lyndon B. Johnson and Queen Elizabeth II.

Henry Hunt totem poles are on display in the Plaza Canadá, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in the town of Berkhamsted, England.
