Ben Hunt (born 27 March 1990) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Brisbane Broncos of the National Rugby League. Hunt is an Australian international representative and Queensland Maroons utility who primarily plays halfback, but can also fill in at hooker.

Hunt signed with the Brisbane Broncos as a youth player. In 2008 Hunt won the inaugural 2008 Toyota Cup player of the year award and was also named in the team of the year, on the interchange bench.

In round 15 of the 2009 NRL season, Hunt made his NRL debut with the Brisbane Broncos at halfback in a 12-46 loss to the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Remondis Stadium. Hunt went on to play one more match that season, in round 20 against the Gold Coast Titans in a 14-34 loss at Robina Stadium.

In round 8, against the Newcastle Knights, Hunt scored his first NRL career try in the Broncos 22-30 loss at Suncorp Stadium. The 2010 NRL season was seen as a breakthrough season for Hunt, as he played in 19 matches. After some impressive performances, that included scoring two tries, many were calling for Hunt to get a run as a starting hooker. Although Hunt stayed as a bench player, he demonstrated that he could be the Broncos future halfback.
