Thelma Hill (12 December 1906 - 11 May 1938) was an American silent-screen comedian.

Born Thelma Floy Hillerman in Emporia, Kansas, she was one of the few Mack Sennett Bathing Beauties to make it into featured roles. Hill starred opposite Ben Turpin in The Prodigal Bridegroom; from 1927 to 1929 with Bud Duncan in Larry Darmour's series of silent comedy shorts Toots and Casper; and was Laurel & Hardy's leading lady in 1928's Two Tars. She ended her career at the Hal Roach fun factory shortly after the changeover to sound, and by 1932 her life had taken on a dark side of depression and alcohol abuse. She would die before her thirty-second birthday from acute alcohol poisoning. Her husband at the time was actor John Sinclair.
