Sigrid Hunke (1913 - 1999) was a German author. She is known for her work in the field of religious studies.

Sigrid Hunke joined the Germanistischer Wissenschafteinsatz, the German Sciences Service of the SS, the organization conceived of by Heinrich Himmler to oversee the Germanization of Northern Europe. She called Adolf Hitler "the best model that history has ever offered to Germany."

Hunke was also known for her claims of Muslim superiority over Western values. She asserts in her essay Allahs Sonne über dem Abendland or Allah's sun over the Occident that "the influence exerted by the Arabs on the West was the first step in freeing Europe from Christianity."
