Tracie Hunter is an American pastor in the Western Hills Church of the United Brethren in Christ, lawyer and formerly a judge in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Tracie Hunter was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1967, to parents Charlotte and Stephen "Steven" Edward Hunter Sr, who raised their children, Tracie, Edward Louis, Erica, and Stephen Edward Jr., Catholic. She was the eldest of the four siblings. In 1986, 17-year-old Edward Louis, while a high school student, committed a string of armed robberies that ended in a confrontation with the police, and Edward Louis shooting himself.

Hunter completed her undergraduate education at Miami University, and earned a Juris Doctor professional degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Law.

Hunter was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1993. She started working as an attorney advocate for neglected children and as a contract attorney with a public defender's office. At the same time, she worked as the general manager of the WCVG urban, gospel, radio station.

In 2010, following the retirement of Judge Thomas R. Lipps (R), Hunter submitted her candidacy for the judgeship in Hamilton County's Juvenile Court, to fill the position vacated by Lipps. In the primary, the county's Democratic chapter fielded Daniel Donnellon, son of Ed Donnellon, Municipal Court judge. Hunter won the race with 20,626 to 9,202 votes. She lost the November 2, 2010, election to John Williams, former administrator of Hamilton County Clerk of Courts and director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, who had served almost two decades as a prosecutor and magistrate, by nearly three thousand votes.

Hunter's campaign identified what were ostensibly significant issues with provisional ballots cast, and protested the result, eventually filing a federal lawsuit. In November 2010, Federal Judge Susan Dlott ruled that Williams should not take the office until the issue of the provisional ballots was investigated and resolved.
