Nathaniel Hill (b. 1861 in Drogheda, Ireland, – d. 1934) was an Irish impressionist. Hill studied at the Metropolitan school in Dublin from 1877 to 1880. He was a contemporary of Roderic O'Conor, Walter Osborne, and Joseph Malachy Kavanagh. He painted rural scenes, as well as peasants and country imagery. A fine example of his portrait style is held at the Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda - Hill's late 19th Century portrait of the brewer and banker Thomas Plunkett Cairnes is hung at the town's gallery. This work is one of his portraits of prominent Drogheda citizens of that period.
