Philip Hunton (c.1600-1682) was an English clergyman and political writer, known for his 1643 anti-royalist work A Treatise of Monarchy. It became a banned book under the Restoration.[1] At the time of publication, it provoked a much better-known rebuttal, the 1648 Anarchy of a Limited and Mixed Monarchy by Robert Filmer. It was part of a pamphleteering exchange initiated by the royal chaplain Henry Ferne.

In favour under the Commonwealth, he was made provost of New College, Oliver Cromwell's foundation in Durham.[2] His fortunes declined under Charles II.
