Christopher Hunt (fl. 1584-1607) was an Exeter bookseller and stationer.
He was the son of Walter Hunt, a cordwainer of Blandford in Dorset. On 12 January 1585 he apprenticed himself to Thomas Man, a London stationer for a period of eight years, beginning the previous Christmas day. He was admitted to the Stationer's Company as a freeman on 2 October 1592, and returned to Exeter and made a freeman in 1593. There he opened a stationery in the parish of St. Martin, selling books and other items such as writing supplies, and had two titles printed for him in London by Adam Islip, both of them translations by the Cornish translator and antiquary Richard Carew. He removed to London some time before May 1606 and located a shop in Paternoster Row.
His wife's name is unknown. He had at least two children, Anne, baptised 24 March 1699 at St Martin's Church, and a son, Thomas, baptised 16 January 1602 in the same church, also a stationer.
