Negro Hill is a conspicuous rocky hill, double-peaked with a small tarn in between, rising to 100 m at South Beaches on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It surmounts Fontus Lake on the south. The area was visited by 19th-century sealers.

The feature was descriptively named (‘Morro Negro’ meaning "Black Hill" in Spanish) by an Argentine Antarctic Expedition in about 1958.
