Eppa Hunton IV (July 31, 1904 – November 23, 1976) was an American lawyer. A native of Richmond, Virginia, he graduated from the University of Virginia and its law school before returning to his hometown, where, excepting his overseas military service in World War II, he resided the remainder of his life. The only son of Eppa Hunton Jr., in 1927 he joined the firm his father co-founded—Hunton, Williams, Anderson & Gay (now Hunton Andrews Kurth)—and practiced corporate law, eventually becoming a senior partner.

Hunton was a powerful force in Richmond society for nearly half a century. He was a longtime director of the First & Merchants Bank, was active in Democratic politics, served for many years on the boards of visitors of the Medical College of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University, including a period as rector of the latter, and held membership in a multitude of civic and cultural organizations.
