Graeme John Hunt (20 September 1952 – 22 September 2010) was a New Zealand journalist, author and historian.
Hunt was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He was the third of the five children, of Frederick Phillip Hunt (1921–1982), a self-employed wireworker, and Beverley Nance Hunt (née Hatcher) (1926–2002), an accounts clerk. He attended Penrose High School (now One Tree Hill College) in Auckland.
Hunt, who initially trained as an accountant, was a journalist, author and historian. He held a history degree and a business studies diploma from Massey University in Palmerston North, and attended Green College (now Green Templeton College), University of Oxford, England, in 2000 as a Chevening/David Low journalism fellow under the Reuters Foundation Programme.
Hunt was a former editor-at-large of the National Business Review, Auckland, and a former editor of that paper's annual Rich List. He was also a radio and television commentator on business and politics and wrote for a number of New Zealand publications including the New Zealand Listener, Management magazine, the New Zealand Herald, the Herald on Sunday and Metro.
Hunt was deputy chairman of One Tree Hill College Board of Trustees, Auckland (his old school), and was formerly deputy chairman of Kelston Girls’ College Board of Trustees, Auckland. He also served on the (New Zealand) Young Enterprise Trust Supporters’ Council and undertook the research into, and helped select, laureates for the Fairfax Media New Zealand Business Hall of Fame.
