John Hunt Painter (September 3, 1819 - April 9, 1891) was a Quaker farmer living near Springdale, Iowa, who sent the firearms to abolitionist John Brown that were used during Brown's historic raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. John Hunt Painter was an early settler of Pasadena, California where, in 1888, he erected the La Pintoresca hotel, a local landmark.

In 1849, John Hunt Painter moved to his farm near Springdale, a small Quaker community in Cedar County, Iowa.
