Lewis James Hunt (born 25 August 1982 in Birmingham) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Wycombe Wanderers.

Hunt's versatility was a big bonus to Southend United when he joined the club from Derby County, making an initial loan deal permanent in the summer of 2004.

He featured 11 times for the Rams, but the chance of regular first team football convinced him to join the Blues.

Hunt's versatility could be seen as a blessing and a curse after never really settling in one position. Often used at right-back, Hunt has also played in a midfield holding role and also as a centre-half.

Hunt himself considers right-back to be his best position, though it appeared that the signing of Simon Francis in 2006 could scupper a regular run in the side this term. On the 17 October, however, in a league match against Burnley Hunt returned to his favoured position at right-back, with Francis moving into the position on the right-hand side of midfield previously occupied by Hunt.

Hunt was released by Southend United at the end of the 2007-08 season. [cite news
