John Pratt Hungerford (January 2, 1761 – December 21, 1833) was an 18th- and 19th-century politician and lawyer from Virginia. He served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1813 to 1817. Previously, he had served in the House in 1811, but was removed from office after his election results were called into question by a House investigation.[1]
