Frederick Hunt (13 September 1875 – 31 March 1967) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club in 1897 and 1898, and for Worcestershire County Cricket Club between 1900 and 1922.[1]

Hunt was born at Aldworth in Berkshire in 1875.[2] He played Minor Counties Championship cricket for Worcestershire in 1895 and 1896 before the county's elevation to the ranks of first-class counties before moving to play for Kent in 1897. He made his first-class debut for Kent against Gloucestershire at Maidstone in May and played six times for the county, five in 1897 and once in 1898.[3]

He returned to play for Worcestershire, now a first-class county, in 1900, playing a total of 53 times for the county between then and 1922. He rarely made more than a handful of appearances in any season – only in 1908, when he played 14 matches did he make more than ten appearances in a season for Worcestershire. He played only six matches when cricket resumed after the First World War and his final appearance came in June 1922 against Essex at [County Ground, Leyton|Leyton]].[3]

Hunt went on to be groomsman at New Road, Worcester.[1] He stood as an umpire in one first-class game at Worcester in 1919.[3] He died at Worcester in 1967 aged 91.[2]
