Trevor Hill, 1st Viscount Hillsborough (1693 – 5 May 1742), was an Anglo-Irish landowner and politician.
The son of Michael Hill and Anne Trevor, Hill was the member of an influential landowning family of County Down, Ireland. He sat in the British House of Commons as a representative for Aylesbury from 1715 to 1722 and for Malmesbury in 1722 and was also MP for County Down in the Irish House of Commons. In 1717 Hill was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Hill of Kilwarlin, in the County of Down, and Viscount Hillsborough, with special remainder, failing heirs male of his body, to the heirs male of his father. His brother Arthur Hill succeeded to the Trevor estates through their mother and was created Baron Hill and Viscount Dungannon in 1765.
Lord Hillsborough died in May, 1742. He was succeeded in the titles by his son Wills, who was to become a prominent statesman, and who was created Marquess of Downshire in 1789.
