Fort Hunt High School was a public secondary school near Alexandria, Virginia located at 8428 Fort Hunt Road. It opened its doors toward the end of the post–World War II baby boom in 1963, as part of the Fairfax County Public Schools. It suffered extensive fire damage as the result of arson in December 1978. Students were sent on a split shift to nearby Groveton and Mt. Vernon high schools through the remainder of the 1978-79 schoolyear. In 1985, due to declining enrollment, Fort Hunt and Groveton were combined to form West Potomac High School, located on Groveton's campus.
