Gordon Hunter (born 3 May 1967) is a Scottish former footballer, who played as a defender for Hibernian, Canberra Cosmos, Dundee, Cowdenbeath, Hamilton Academical and Stirling Albion.
Hunter was part of the Hibernian team that won the 1991 Scottish League Cup Final (also playing on the losing side in the final of the same competition in 1985 and 1993); he was granted a testimonial match by the club in 1996 having made 409 appearances over 14 seasons.[2] Hunter, who scored very few goals in his career, got the winner for Hibs in an Edinburgh derby match in 1994 that ended a record 22-game unbeaten run by Heart of Midlothian in the derby.[3]
As of 2005, Hunter ran a taxi business in Edinburgh.[4]
