Joseph Hunter (May 7, 1839 – April 8, 1935) was a Scottish-born surveyor, civil engineer and political figure in British Columbia.
He represented Cariboo from 1871 to 1875 and from 1900 to 1903 and Comox from 1890 to 1898 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
From 1872 to 1874, he worked performing surveys for the future Canadian Pacific Railway including one route across what is now Wells Gray Provincial Park.
