Henry John Hill (6 March 1847 – 18 September 1926) was a South Australian businessman.
Around 1858 he started work for his father in the goods department of Henry Hill & Co. which had a contract with the South Australian Railways.
At various times more than 1,000 horses were in work at once across the State, but they were always just a few years ahead of the establishment of railways on the most profitable routes.
He then returned to manage Hill & Co.[2] In October 1911 Hill and erstwhile competitor Henry Graves founded Hill, Graves & Co.,[3] with a massive stone bulk store at Port Adelaide bounded by Timpson, Divett and Mempes Streets (later occupied by R. Mitchell & Co.) extensive stables in Pirie and Grenfell Streets (the largest in Australia)[4] and offices on North Terrace and in Gouger and George Streets, Adelaide.
Hill was chairman of the finance committee and a member of the horse committee of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society for more than 30 years and President in 1905 and 1908, and he was made a life member a few months before he died at his home in Stanley Street, North Adelaide.
