Arthur James Ledger Hill (born 26 July 1871 in Bassett, Hampshire, England; died 6 September 1950 in Spursholt House, Hampshire, England) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University between 1890 and 1893, and for Hampshire between 1895 and 1921. He also played three Test matches for England on their tour to South Africa in 1895-96.
