- Joseph Hunter (UK politician)
Dr Joseph Hunter (24 December 1875 – 24 July 1935) was a politician in the United Kingdom, and Member of Parliament (MP) from 1929 until his death.
At the 1929 general election, in his first parliamentary candidacy, he stood as the Liberal Party candidate for Dumfriesshire, winning the seat from the Conservative MP John Charteris. Hunter was re-elected in 1931 as a Liberal, but when the party split later that year over participation in the Conservative-dominated National Government, he joined the breakaway Liberal National Party.
Hunter died in office in July 1935, aged 59.
