Richard Leslie Hill (18 February 1901 – 21 March 1996) was an English civil servant and historian of Sudan, "one of the great pioneers in the study of the modern history of the Sudan".
[1] Lecturer in Near Eastern history at Durham University from 1949 to 1966, he established the Sudan Archive there, "one of the most remarkable initiatives by any British university".
[2] Hill's books fall into three main classes: reference works, editions of 19th-century memoirs or travel journals, and synthesising monographs.
