John Hunyadi, Jr. (c. 1419 – 1440 or 1441) was a Hungarian noble and knight banneret from the House of Hunyadi, younger brother of regent John Hunyadi as the second son of Vajk (Voyk) and Erzsébet (Elizabeth) Morzsinay (Morsina).[1]

There is little information about him. He was appointed ban of Severin (Szörény) by King Albert in 1439, along with his brother.[2] Thereafter he participated in his brother's early campaigns against the Ottomans. Probably he was killed in a battle in this capacity in 1440 or 1441. He was buried in Gyulafehérvár (today: Alba Iulia, Romania).
