James Malcolm Hunt (born 12 December 1976) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder from 1994 until 2010.
During his time at Meadow Lane Hunt also played under Howard Kendall, Steve Nicol and Colin Murphy before finally being released by Sam Allardyce at the end of the 1996–1997 season.
In 2004, he signed for Bristol Rovers, and he became the club's captain until November 2006, when a disagreement with first-team coach Paul Trollope about Hunt being named as a substitute instead of being in the starting 11 led to him being transfer listed.

Hunt signed for non-League club Gainsborough Trinity on 29 May 2009 where he remained for a new season before retiring from football for family reasons.
