Scott Hill born 30 May 1977 in Forster, New South Wales is an Australian rugby league player.

Scott Hill plays for Harlequins RL in the European Super League.

Hill's position of choice is as a stand-off. He can also operate at loose forward.

He previously played for the Melbourne Storm, Hunter Mariners (one of only two players to play in all the club's games in their lone season) and the Canterbury Bulldogs.

Scott Hill is a former New South Wales and Australian representative player.

Renowned for his swiftness, speed and sleight of hand, Hill has often been seen as a real entertainer in Rugby League. Though he is often seen as brilliant by many, he has been criticised for not being able to consistently perform at the highest level. His good form over the years has seen him represent both his state (NSW) and country (Australia).

Scott Hill was among several Melbourne Storm players from their inaugural year before leaving at the end of the 2006 season. He began his career with Melbourne in 1998, but missed the 1999 Grand Final due to injuries, which have seemingly plagued his career.
