Nicholas Hill (1570 – c. 1610) was an English natural philosopher, considered a disciple of Giordano Bruno.

He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and St John's College, Oxford where he matriculated in 1587, graduated B.A.

[5] Aubrey's account also has him a close friend of Robert Hues, at the centre of the Northumberland circle.

[6][7] According to an account of Hues recorded by Obadiah Walker, Hill's son died and he then committed suicide.
