Mark Hunter (born 3 September 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Hunter, a product of the Melton Bloods, played both under-19s and reserves level football at the Geelong Football Club. He was delisted by Geelong without playing a senior game but had his hopes of a VFL career revived when he was invited to train with Footscray prior to the 1988 season.

A defender, he slotted straight into the Footscray team in 1988 and over the course of his career would give the club good service, although he missed many games through hamstring injuries.^[1] He had perhaps his best season in 1994 when he had averaged 20 disposals a game from his 22 appearances and had 365 kicks, the fourth most in the league that year.^[2]

After retirement he spent a season at Williamstown in 1999 as an assistant coach and a couple of years as a Footscray runner in 2006 and 2007. He is currently involved in the horse racing industry as a form analyst on the radio and internet.
