Climate of Hunter is a 1984 album by Scott Walker. It was Scott Walker's first solo album since 1974's We Had It All, having released three albums with The Walker Brothers (1975's No Regrets, 1976's Lines and 1978's Nite Flights) in the intervening period. It was also to be his only album of the 1980s.

The track listing of Walker's five disc boxset 5 Easy Pieces renames "Track Three" as "Delayed" and "Track Five" as "It's A Starving". The forth disc of the boxset from where both tracks are featured is titled: 'This Is How You Disappear' after the opening lyric from "Rawhide".

"Track Three" was released as a single to promote the album[1], a video was also made. The 7" was backed with "Blanket Roll Blues".

A remastered edition of the album was released in the UK on 30 January 2006. It included liner notes by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne.
