Alfred William Hill (29 July 1865 – 27 May 1936) was an English cricketer. Hill was a left-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born at Little Rissington, Gloucestershire.

Hill made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire against the touring South Africans in 1904. In this match he took his only first-class wicket, that of William Shalders, for the cost of 47 runs from 10 overs. With the bat, he ended Gloucestershire's first-innings unbeaten on 29, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a single run by Charlie Llewellyn.[1] The following year he played his second and final first-class match for Gloucestershire, against Nottinghamshire in the 1905 County Championship.[2] In this match, he bowled 3 wicket-less overs and wasn't required to bat.[3]

He died at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, on 27 May 1936.
