Clarence Hill (born 26 June 1951) is a Bermudian retired boxer. At the 1976 Summer Olympics he won a bronze medal in the Heavyweight division, making Hill the first athlete from Bermuda to win an Olympic medal, and the only one until 2021.
After Montreal, Hill remained an amateur, looking for a chance to compete at the next Games in Moscow in 1980; those dreams were shattered when Bermuda boycotted the Games. So, Hill turned professional instead, defeating British club fighter David Fry in England on April 14, 1980. After winning his first twelve fights, Hill took on future WBA champ Tony Tubbs at the University of New Mexico in August 1982. Tubbs won in a unanimous decision, and Hill went back to taking on lesser-known fighters, mostly in the USA . Hill's last bout was in 1986, and he finished with a final pro record of 19 wins (16 by knockout), three losses and a draw.
Clarence Hill was elected to the Bermuda Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
