Hundested er en havneby i Nordsjælland med 8.543 indbyggere (2022), beliggende på halvøen Halsnæs i Torup Sogn.
Byen tilhører Halsnæs Kommune og ligger i Region Hovedstaden.
I begyndelsen af 1800-tallet begyndte garnfiskerne fra Lynæs at lande deres skibe på stranden ud for revet. I løbet af 1830'erne byggede mange af fiskerne beboelseshuse på stedet. I takt med, at skibene blev større, måtte havnen udvides. Oprindeligt havde havnen blot bestået af nogle risgærder, der gik ud i vandet. Med tiden udviklede Hundested Havn sig til en moderne trafikhavn.
Jernbanen kom til Hundested i 1916 som forlængelse af Hillerød-Frederiksværk-banen.
