Tim Hunter (born September 10, 1960 in Calgary, Alberta) is a former NHL forward. Chosen in the 3rd round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft (#54 overall) by the then Atlanta Flames, Hunter went on to a 16-year career with the Calgary Flames, Quebec Nordiques, Vancouver Canucks, and San Jose Sharks. He was on the Flames' 1989 Stanley Cup championship team, and also appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals in 1986 with Calgary and in 1994 with Vancouver. Today, Hunter is an assistant coach in San Jose. During his playing days, Hunter was known for his fierce style of play, ranking him among hockey's unspoken list of elite enforcers during the 1980s and 1990's. He also was a quality defensive player and penalty killer with an occasional scoring touch.
Hunter currently ranks eighth on the NHL's all-time penalty minute leaders list with 3,142.

In addition to his own work, Hunter is also known as the son of British screenwriter Ian McLellan Hunter. In 1993, he controversially refused to cede his late father's Academy Award for the 1953 screenplay to Roman Holiday: when the Hollywood blacklist was preventing Dalton Trumbo from selling his work, Trumbo arranged for the elder Hunter to be credited instead. Subsequently, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave Trumbo's widow a compensatory award.
