Sarah Alice Hunter, (born 19 September 1985) is an English rugby union player. She has represented since the 2010 Women's Rugby World Cup and currently captains the team.

International career
Hunter made her England debut in 2007. She had trained as a centre but joined the England squad as a back row player after coach Phil Forsyth moved her at Under-19s trials. She led the England team to win the 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup and won her hundredth cap in November 2017 as England played Canada in the semi-finals of the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup. As of April 2021, Hunter is the second most capped England Player of all time.

In November 2020, Hunter was unable to play in the team's postponed 2020 Six Nations game due to a hamstring injury. She had also injured a nerve in her neck in October 2020, which took doctors five months to fully diagnose and left her unsure of whether she would be able to return to professional rugby. After 13 months off, Hunter returned to the international pitch in April 2021 as England beat Italy in the second round of the 2021 Women's Six Nations.

Club career
At 15, Hunter joined the Lichfield Ladies. She moved to Bristol Ladies in 2015 and joined Loughborough Lightning in 2017, where she continues to play.
