Hunter's Tryst is the name of a long-established inn in Edinburgh, Scotland; it has lent its name to the surrounding area, near Fairmilehead.

The inn, once well outside Edinburgh's built-up area, was a popular leisure destination and was a meeting place of the Six Foot Club. The area was written about by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Today the inn is surrounded by modern housing estates and is next to a Morrisons supermarket.

It is served by several Lothian Buses routes - all 27 buses and half of the 16 service turn back at Hunter's Tryst, whilst the 4 and 18 pass through.
