Does Unarmed Attack benefit from Weapon Finesse? It says that any natural weapon benefits so I would have to think that Unarmed Strike.
I would say yes. Granted it's a nasty feat in the hands of a Monk, whose damage increases as they level so the need for a high Strength is not as needed. So they could max their Dex increasing their already high AC and with the feat making it easier for them to hit.

Strike, Unarmed: A Medium character deals 1d3 points of nonlethal damage with an unarmed strike. A Small character deals 1d2 points of nonlethal damage. A monk or any character with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat can deal lethal or nonlethal damage with unarmed strikes, at her option. The damage from an unarmed strike is considered weapon damage for the purposes of effects that give you a bonus on weapon damage rolls.
An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon. Therefore, you can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with an unarmed strike.
