Billy Hill (July 14, 1899 – December 24, 1940) was an American songwriter, violinist, and pianist who found fame writing Western songs such as "They Cut Down the Old Pine Tree", "The Last Round-Up", "Wagon Wheels", and "Empty Saddles".

Hill's most popular song was "The Glory of Love", recorded by Benny Goodman in 1936 and by Peggy Lee, Otis Redding, Paul McCartney, and others.

Hill left home at age 17 and headed west, where he worked as a cowboy in Montana and as a surveyor and prospector in Death Valley, California.

He returned to music and played violin and piano in dance halls until forming his own jazz band in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Billy Hill died of heart failure in a Boston hotel room on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1940.
