Franz Hünten, often billed as François Hünten (26 December 1792 – 22 February 1878), was a German pianist and composer of salon music.He was born in Koblenz, the son of the organist Daniel Hünten, who taught Henri Herz.

Two years after publishing the instruction book Nouvelle méthode pour le piano-forte, op. 60 (1833), he moved back to Koblenz, where he continued to compose; he moved back to Paris a
