Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Cousins Island in Yarmouth, Maine. Located in today's Katherine Tinker Preserve,[1] it is now closed to burials.[2]

The cemetery is so named because it contains only members of the Hill family, with dates of death ranging from 1831 to 1899.[3] It includes burials of Revolutionary War veterans.[4]
