Hunchy is a suburb in the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Situated in the foothills of the Blackall Range, Hunchy was first called Hunchback.[1]

There is farming within the area with crops such as pineapples, lychees, macadamias, mangoes, bananas,[2] citrus, avocados and a small quantity of coffee beans grown. Some of the older settlers trialled Shiraz grapes in the region but it did not rate in James Halliday's Wine Companions.

Livestock include cattle, alpacas and honey-bees.
