Abner Kirk "Trey" Junkin III (born January 23, 1961 in Conway, Arkansas) is a former American football tight end/long snapper in the National Football League.

Junkin played 19 seasons in the NFL for six different teams: Buffalo Bills (1983-1984), Washington Redskins (1984), Los Angeles Raiders (1985-1989), Seattle Seahawks (1990-1995), Oakland Raiders (1996), Arizona Cardinals (1996-2001), plus a single game with the New York Giants in 2002.

Trey played college football at Louisiana Tech University.

It was his one game with the Giants for which Junkin is probably most remembered. The Giants coaxed the very recently retired veteran back on to the playing field to replace an injured Dan O'Leary. It would be a decision that Trey would come to regret and which would cast a dark cloud over an otherwise faultless 19-year NFL career. In a 2002 wild card playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers, Junkin botched a snap on a field goal attempt that could have won the game for the Giants. There was also an uncalled pass interference penalty on the last play, which would have led to another field goal attempt had it been called correctly [1], which served to somewhat allay the blame from Junkin. However, Junkin took full responsibility and said that the Giants lost this game because of him [2]

After the 2002 NFL season, Trey went on to coach in the Canadian Football League for the Calgary Stampeders. After a short stint with the Stampeders, Junkin rejoined his family in Winnfield, Louisiana. Junkin is now the defensive coordinator for his son Connor's high school football team, the Winnfield Senior High Tigers.

Junkin is the older brother of former NFL linebacker Mike Junkin.
