Andrew Hunter Dunn DD (1839 – 14 November 1914) was an eminent Anglican priest, the fifth Bishop of Quebec.

Dunn was born in Saffron Walden. Educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he graduated BA as 29th Wrangler in 1863. Ordained in 1864, his first post was a curacy at St Mark’s, Notting Hill. In 1870 he became curate, and in 1872 Vicar, of All Saints, South Acton. In 1892 he was elevated to the Episcopate, as the fifth Bishop of Quebec. In 1893 he received an honorary DD from the University of Cambridge. He remained Bishop of Quebec until his sudden death on board ship, homeward bound.

His son Edward was also a bishop, and his grand daughter Joan was the muse of John Betjeman.
