Kevin Hunt (born 4 July 1975) is an English former professional football player.
Hunt started his career with Queens Park Rangers. He has also played for Gillingham, Sittingbourne, Hong Kong Rangers and in Singapore.
In December 1998, Hunt made his debut for Bohemians at Turners Cross against Cork City. Hunt quickly established himself as a dominant force in the League of Ireland, helping to steer a struggling Bohemians side away from relegation.
The following season, Bohemians came close to the league title and losing in the FAI Cup Final in a replay to Shelbourne.
The following season, 2000–01, Hunt became club captain and led Bohemians through the greatest season in its history. In the early season Bohemians progressed in the UEFA Cup, with impressive results including victories in Scotland against Aberdeen and in Germany against Kaiserslautern, before guiding the club to its first league title since 1978. One week later, Hunt led the team out in Tolka Park for the FAI Cup Final, which Bohemian won, capping a historic Double for the club.
While the 2001–02 season was disappointing for the champions, Hunt earned a runners up medal in the FAI Cup.
Hunt won his second league winners medal as Bohemians, leading the league from start to finish. He was also voted the League's Player of the Year for 2003 at the FAI's annual awards ceremony.
Kevin made 282 league appearances for Bohemian and scoring 21 goals.
