Wilton St Hill was a West Indian cricketer who played in West Indies' first Test in their inaugural Test tour of England.
St Hill was born on 6 July 1893 in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He was one of the many West Indian cricketers of his time whose Test career started at an advanced age; he was 34 in his first Test. His date of death is unknown: most cricket books, including Wisden Cricketers' Almanack seem to believe he died around 1957.
His younger brother Edwin St Hill also played Test cricket for the West Indies and a second brother, Cyl St Hill played once for Trinidad and Tobago.
