Hunt Refining Company was founded by oilman H.L. Hunt as an asphalt refining company in 1946. Today it owns and operates a petroleum refinery in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The plant also includes a coker and a diesel hydrotreater. In 2006, they announced plans for a $500 million expansion to the refinery.

Activity at the Tuscaloosa refinery was in part the cause of a federal air pollution case that Hunt Refining settled for $49 million.

John A. Matson has served as President of Hunt Refining since 1992.
