Aubert Culberson Dunn (November 20, 1896 – January 4, 1987) was an attorney and politician from Mississippi. A Democrat, he was most notable for his service as a member of the United States House of Representatives for one term (1935-1937).

A native of Meridian, Mississippi, Dunn attended the University of Mississippi, the University of Alabama, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and worked as a reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer. He served in the United States Navy during World War I, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1924.

Dunn served as District Attorney for Mississippi's 10th Judicial District (1931 to 1934), and resigned to accept his seat in Congress. In 1934, he was the successful Democratic nominee for Mississippi's 5th District seat, and he served one term, January 3, 1935-January 3, 1927. He did not run for reelection in 1936, and resumed practicing law.

He was a technical expert for the United States Senate Committee on Finance in 1938, and counsel for the Social Security Board in 1939. From 1952 to 1953, Dunn was a special trial attorney in the U.S. Attorney General's office, and in 1966 he served as Judge of Mississippi's 10th Judicial District. In retirement, Dunn resided in Mobile, Alabama, where he died in 1987. He was buried at Magnolia Cemetery in Mobile.
