Graham Hunt is an Australian darts player who won the 1997 Winmau World Masters.

Hunt played in the 1997 BDO World Darts Championship, losing in the first round to Mervyn King. He then produced an amazing run just months later in the Winmau World Masters. He beat former Masters champion Erik Clarys in the first round and then extracted revenge on Mervyn King in the second round. He then beat fellow countryman Peter Hinkley and Les Delderfield before beating Ronnie Baxter in the final to clinch the title.

Despite his Masters win, Hunt never managed to fulfill his potential. He didn't play in the World Championship, nor the Masters in 1998, but did win the Australian Masters. He did play in the 1999 World Championship though, beating Andy Jenkins in the first round before losing to England captain Martin Adams in the second round. He returned a year later, losing in round one to 1996 World Champion Steve Beaton. It was his last appearance at the Lakeside.

He finally returned to the World Masters in 2002, losing in the last 64 stage to Simon Whatley. Since then he has played in Australia and New Zealand as well as the WDF World Cup in 2005. His last appearance was at the 2006 Pacific Masters, losing at the last 16 before quietly disappearing from the sport.
