Hunter is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Anna Calvi, released on 31 August 2018 by Domino.[4] The album was produced by Nick Launay, with additional production by Calvi. The album features Adrian Utley from Portishead and Martyn P. Casey from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.

Calvi announced the album on 6 June 2018. At the same time she released a single, "Don't Beat the Girl Out of My Boy", and announced a European tour in support.[5][6][7] Calvi enlisted director Matt Lambert to produce the video for title track "Hunter". Dazed called it "an exploration of queer intimacy and self-love."[8]
