Edward Eyre Hunt Jr. (1922 — 1991) (also known as Ed Hunt) was an American physical anthropologist and human biologist.[1] He did bachelor's, master's and a Ph.D. from the Harvard University in 1942, 1949 and 1951, respectively. He worked at several academic institutions including the Harvard University, City University of New York, Yale University and Pennsylvania State University until his retirement in 1985.

He was a co-founder of the United States' Dental Anthropological Association, and is viewed by some academics as one of the founders of applied medical anthropology. He died at the age of nearly 69 years because of an embolism that was developed after he underwent a gallbladder surgery. He was married to Vilma Rose Hunt.
