Tony Hills was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Mark Homer.

He was first shown on screen on 7 September 1995 after arriving from Norfolk with his sister, Sarah Hills, played by Daniella Denby-Ashe. At first, he was painted as an unsympathetic character; at one point he sold ecstasy with a friend, Dan Zappieri. Eventually, he quit dealing after Dan gave Sarah ecstasy without her knowledge.

Tony began a relationship with Tiffany Raymond and lived with her for a while. She became pregnant and the baby was assumed to be his. However, she caught him kissing her brother Simon, with whom he then began a relationship, and the baby was revealed to be Grant Mitchell's. Tony still believed that the baby may be his until, after its birth, a paternity test confirmed he was not the father.

Tony and Simon had a turbulent relationship, and Tony had affairs with Frankie Pierre, a singer, and Polly Becker, a journalist at the Walford Gazette, where he was (at that time) a trainee. Simon found out about this, and the couple split up.

Tony began a relationship with Teresa di Marco, but after Tiffany died and Simon nearly burned to death in a house fire, Tony reconciled with Simon and they left Albert Square together in April 1999 to travel around Europe. A letter sent to Tony's family after he left Walford revealed the couple to have settled in Amsterdam.
