Duane Garrison Hunt (September 19, 1884—March 31, 1960) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Salt Lake City from 1937 until his death in 1960.
Raised in a Methodist family, Duane Hunt was born in Reynolds, Nebraska, to Andrew Dixon and Lodema Esther (née Garrison) Hunt. He attended Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1907. He then taught at public high schools in Iowa until 1911, when he enrolled at the University of Iowa Law School. However, his poor eyesight forced him to withdraw from law school the following year.
Hunt then entered the graduate school at the University of Chicago in the field of public speaking. During his studies, he began to examine and question Methodism, which he eventually abandoned. He decided to convert to Catholicism, and was baptized at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Chicago in 1913. Shortly after his graduation from the University of Chicago, he moved to Salt Lake City, where he served as a faculty member of the speech department at the University of Utah from 1913 to 1916. He then resigned from his teaching post in order to study for the priesthood. He studied at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California, from 1916 to 1920.
