Jayden Hunt (born 3 April 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL), having previously played for the Melbourne Football Club. A defender, 1.87 metres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighing 83 kilograms (183 lb), Hunt plays primarily on the half-back flank with the ability to also play on the wing. He was born into an Australian rules football family with both his great-uncle and uncle playing in the Victorian Football League (now the Australian Football League). He played his final junior football year in school sports and did not play any football at under-18 level. Despite this, he was recruited by the Melbourne Football Club with the fifty-seventh selection in the 2013 AFL draft. After persistent injuries in his first two years, he made his AFL debut during the 2016 season.
