Crag Hill is a mountain in the North Western part of the English Lake District. It was formerly known as Eel Crag; however, the Ordnance Survey now marks Eel Crag as referring to the northern crags of the fell. It is not to be confused with another Crag Hill lying on the border of North Yorkshire.

It overlooks the valleys of Rannerdale on the west, and Coledale on the east. It is the second highest fell in the area of high ground between Whinlatter and Newlands, second to Grasmoor. It is 839 m (2,753 feet) high, and has a relative height of 117 m.

It is usually ascended as the highest point of the Coledale Horseshoe, a circuit of Coledale which takes in Causey Pike, Scar Crags, Sail and Grisedale Pike; other ascents are from Braithwaite, Stair or Buttermere.
