Oliver Clinton Hill (October 16, 1909 – September 20, 1970) was a Major League Baseball player. He appeared in two games for the Boston Bees in 1939, both times as a pinch hitter. In two at bats, he had one hit, a double, for a batting average of .500 and a slugging percentage of 1.000.
Hill had a long minor league career, playing at least from 1935 until 1948, with three seasons missed for World War II. In the minors, he began his career as a catcher, but became a third baseman by 1936. He played four seasons for the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association before being acquired by the Bees.
