Hunt Emerson (born 1952) is a cartoonist living and working in Birmingham, England. He was closely involved with the Birmingham Arts Lab of the mid-to-late 1970s, and with the British underground comics scene of the 1970s and 1980s. His many comic strips and graphic novels are well known and have been translated into numerous languages.

He has been acclaimed as one of the 75 European Masters of Cartooning of the 20th Century by the Centre Nationale de la Bande Dessinee et de l'Image, and has won many other international awards.

He revived Little Plum and later launched Ratz in The Beano. With light-hearted graphic, interpretations he has started introducing literature, with one Beano showing Shelley's Ozymandias to a new, young audience. He has now taken over the Fred's Bed strip in the same comic.
