Margaret Sloan-Hunter (1947 - September 23, 2004) was a feminist, civil rights advocate and former editor of Ms. Magazine who worked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and in the open housing marches.

When she was 14, she joined the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), a group that worked on poverty and urban issues on behalf of the African-American community in Chicago. She founded the Junior Catholic Inter-Racial Council at age 17. In 1975, she and her daughter moved to California, where they established the Women's Foundation.

She died in Oakland, California after a prolonged illness.
