James Hunt (1833 – 29 August 1869) was a speech therapist in London, England, who had among his clients Charles Kingsley, (son of the poet laureate Alfred Tennyson), and Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. His other main interest was in anthropology and in 1863 he established the Anthropological Society of London, which after his death merged with the more established Ethnological Society of London to become the Royal Anthropological Institute.
