Polyommatus hunza is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It was described by Grigory Grum-Grshimailo in 1890. It is found in the Pamir Mountains.

Seitz under Polyommatus stoliczkanus "hunza Gr.-Grsh. (80) are very large specimens with almost entirely white underside, the ocelli and russet-coloured marginal spots being reduced to weak vestiges; from the Pamir." [2]
