Hill is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland. It was created in the 2017 redistribution, and first contested at the Queensland state election the same year. It was named after geologist Dorothy Hill. ^[1]

Hill is centred on the Atherton Tableland. It consists of the entire Tablelands Region, the southern half of the Cairns Region and a northern portion of the Cassowary Coast, as well as an eastern area of Mareeba Shire. Towns within its boundaries include Atherton, Innisfail, Tully, Babinda and Mission Beach. ^[1] It was created largely out of the northern portion of the abolished seat of Dalrymple.

From results of the 2015 election, Hill was estimated to be a marginal seat for Katter's Australian Party with a margin of 4.9%. ^[2] Shane Knuth, the last member for Dalrymple, transferred to Hill and retained it for the KAP with a large swing in his favour.
