Diamond Hill (鑽石山, Jyutping: zyun3 sek6 saan1, Pinyin: Zuànshíshān) is an MTR station located in Diamond Hill, Northern Kowloon. It is on the Kwun Tong Line. This station's livery is dark gray with silver stones signifying diamonds. The station is also incorporated into the large Plaza Hollywood development.

The original Chinese name of this area means "rock digging hill" rather than "diamond hill". The British Government misunderstood the word 鑽石 as a single noun - diamond and did not realize that 鑽 - digging and 石 - stone or rock should be comprehended separately. Historically there were no real diamonds to be recovered by the only mine site in Diamond Hill.
